1. Information about product groups

Before products can be created, it is essential to define product groups to which individual items will be added. Below is an example of product groups in Taitori Café's menu on Taitori application: Breakfast, Lunch, and Drinks. You can access the product groups by clicking on them and add products to your cart. Product groups can have their own descriptions, providing additional information about the items within them.

2. Create a new product group

To create the required product groups, follow the instructions below, and then proceed to product creation.

1. Start by logging in to Taitori PORTAL and navigate to the "Shop" page from the navigation bar.
   
   

2. Click on "Product Groups," and then select "Add a new product category" (see image 2).
   
   

3. First, define the product category type (e.g., Dishes or Other Products). For product categories classified as "Dishes," you can specify allergens later in the Options section.
   
   

4. Then, open the "Text Preferences" section and give the product group a name (e.g., Breakfast). Remember to provide translations in different languages.
   
   

5. Provide a description for the product group, which will be visible in the product catalog on Taitori application (see image 1). For example: "Order delicious breakfast for your meeting. The orders must be placed no later than at 15:00 the previous day."
   
   

6. Next, open the "Options" section. Define whether the product category should be displayed as open by default on the application. You can also specify allergens for the product group.
   
   

7. Finally, open the "Permissions" section, and select only the admin user group, which typically includes users responsible for product management. Customer user groups do not need access rights to individual product groups.
   
   

8. Save the product category by clicking on Save top-left corner.
