# Creating & Managing Menu Groups

The **Menu Groups** section in Foodics allows you to organize your items into categories before pushing them to UrbanPiper. Menu Groups are essential as they determine how your menu will appear on aggregator platforms.

#### **How to Create a New Menu Group**

Follow these steps to create a menu group (e.g., Starters, Main Course):

1. Log in to the **Foodics Web Console**.
2. Click on **Menu** in the left-hand sidebar.
3. Click on **Groups**.
4. Click on **Create Group**.
5. Name your group appropriately (e.g., *Burgers*, *Beverages*).

Each group created here is equivalent to a **category** in your delivery menu.

***

#### **1.2 Adding Products to Groups**

Once your group is created, add products to it as follows:

1. Go to **Menu > Groups**.
2. Click on the specific group you wish to edit.
3. Click on **Add Products**.
4. A pop-up will appear showing all existing products in your Foodics account.
5. You can filter and select items using:
   * **Product List**
   * **Tags**
   * **Categories**
6. After selecting the desired items, click **Save**.

Repeat this process to create and populate all necessary groups/categories.

#### **Creating the Master Group (UrbanPiper Menu)**

To push the menu to UrbanPiper, you must create one **master group** that contains all the individual category groups.

Steps:

1. Navigate to **Menu > Groups**.
2. Click on **Create Group** and name it **urbanpiper.**
3. Scroll to the **Subgroups** section within the group creation screen.
4. Click on **Add Subgroups**.
5. Select all the groups (categories) you created earlier.
6. Click **Save**.

This master group represents your **complete menu** and will be pushed to UrbanPiper.

***

**Sorting Products Within a Group**

To sort the order in which products appear on aggregators:

1. Go to **Menu > Groups**.
2. Select the desired group.
3. Click on **Sort Group**.
4. Use **drag and drop** to reorder the products as needed.

This order will be reflected when the menu is published to UrbanPiper and synced with delivery platforms.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Always ensure the name of the master group is set as **urbanpiper** and is properly structured before importing it to UrbanPiper. \

After syncing, you can log in to UrbanPiper and publish the updated menu to aggregators like Talabat, etc.
