⚠️ What Happens When You Delete a Category?
  • The category will be removed from your POS and menus right away.
  • Any products or services in that category will not be deleted, but they will no longer be grouped under that category.
  • You can always create a new category later if you change your mind.

💡 Tips
  • Double-check before deleting—a deleted category cannot be restored.
  • If you just want to hide a category, consider making it inactive instead of deleting.
  • Keep your categories organized by removing ones you no longer use.
