# Menu & Products

Inside the **Manager app**, you can manage your store's menu, categories, and product items in full autonomy. This section is essential to ensure your 3D menu is accurate, well-organized, and up to date for your customers.

### Menu Structure

Replate’s menu follows a clear and flexible hierarchy:

* **Menu**: The complete collection of your offerings
* **Categories**: Sections like *Starters*, *Mains*, *Desserts*
* **Items**: Individual dishes or products within a category
* **Variants**: Optional variations of an item (e.g., size, portion, flavor) — shown only when editing/viewing the item

Each element can be created and reordered to match how you want your menu to appear on the Web Menu and in-store systems.

### Adding and Managing Products

* You can **create** a new product from scratch or **import** one already saved in another store or previously archived.
* Once created/imported, the product will appear inside the assigned category and can be edited at any time.
* Products without a 3D model will show a **white disk placeholder** in the preview — this helps you quickly spot items that still need to be scanned.
* If a 3D model is missing, a **"Model missing" banner** will appear with a quick link to start scanning.

Tapping a product opens the **preview screen**, where you can see the current state of the 3D model or its placeholder.

### Item Actions

Each product card has an action menu with the following options:

* **Hide**: Temporarily removes the product from the Web Menu without deleting it
* **Edit details**: Opens the item’s name, description, price, and category settings
* **Scan again**: Starts a new 3D scan process to update or replace the current model
* **Delete**: Permanently removes the item from your menu

Some options like “Duplicate”, “Reposition”, or “Share” may be disabled or context-dependent based on the product state.

### Managing Categories

* Tap a **category name** to edit its label or view details about its assigned items
* At the top of the screen, you’ll find:
  * **Add** button: Create a new item or category
  * **Search** button: Quickly find items by name
  * **Categories Order** button: Open drag-and-drop mode to change category positions
* Long-press a category in the reorder view to drag and place it in a new position
* The same drag behavior is available at the **item level inside each category**, allowing you to reorder how items are displayed to customers

**Tip:** Want to scan multiple items in a row? Create or import them first, then use the “Model missing” banner to launch the scan flow in one tap for each.
