Your menu is the catalog you organize so you can take orders accurately. In RestroX, dishes sit under Sub Menus and Categories, and you can add prices, variants, and add-ons as you grow.
A simple way to picture it: Sub Menus are the binders (Food Menu, Bar Menu), Categories are the tabs inside each binder (Breakfast, Beverages), and dishes are the pages you add.
