Parent Selection – Displaying Menu labels
When Menu Item Labels are configured, menu categories are displayed based on the Menu Item Label e.g. Salad Bar (Main). If a menu item does not have a Label, the menu type will be displayed as a category (e.g. Main).
Menu Type categories will be displayed in the following order:
- Main: Custom Categories of Main Menu Type in alphabetical order ascending
- Vegetables: Custom Categories of Vegetables Menu Type in alphabetical order ascending
- Dessert: Custom Categories of Dessert Menu Type in alphabetical order ascending
NOTE: Drink and Other Menu Types are not displayed on the parent portal
