Why Do You Need to Create Choice Groups for a Menu

Choice groups help you organize menu options in a clear and structured way. By creating a choice group, you can bundle related options such as size, toppings, or flavors into one group and apply them to a menu item at once.

Using choice groups also makes menu setup faster and more consistent. Instead of creating the same choices repeatedly for different menus, you can reuse one choice group across multiple menu items. This helps reduce errors, keeps menu options organized, and provides a better ordering experience for customers.

Below are the steps of create choice groups for menu :

• To create a new choice group for menu, you can search for the "Category" menu in the sidebar under Products and click on it. After that, press the “Choice Group” button. 

• Then, once you are on the choice group page, press the “+ Create Choice Group” button.
  
  
• Then you will be directed to the create choice group page. To create a new choice group, there are two sections: 
  
  
  • Details
    
    
    
    

    In this detail section, you will see the options “Multiple” and “Show on Online Order Take Away.” The Multiple option is used to control how choices can be selected. When Multiple is enabled, customers can select more than one choice when ordering. If it is disabled, customers can only select one choice from the group.

    The Show on Online Order Take Away option determines whether this choice group will be displayed for online takeaway orders. When enabled, customers will be able to see and select these choices when placing a takeaway order online.
