🗂️ Product Groups (Categories)

🧭 Overview

The Groups section (or categories) allows you to organize and structure products within the system.

Product groups are essential for:

  • 🖨️ routing orders to printers

  • 🔎 product filtering

  • 🧩 structuring orders in the POS application, online ordering site, and combo menus

Groups can be created, edited, and deleted at any time.

🖨️ Assigned Printers

  • One or more printers can be assigned to the group

  • If multiple printers are selected:

    • the user can choose which one to use when sending orders
