# Intro to the Menu Editor

Appfront's Menu Editor is a highly advanced feature with a lot of options and features. Naturaly, it can be daunting at first glance. In this section we'll try and make it as easy as possible to understand all the different features and how to make the best of it.

The first thing to understand is that the menu is built as a basic hierarchy. Every item is inside a category and every category is inside a menu.

Within every item there is an option group (or modifier group), and inside every modifier group are the different options for that item.

Because Appfront supports integration with lots of POS systems, the majority of this manual will cover all of the options and will specify how to integrarte to different POS systems at the end.

To enter the menu editor you go in the Appfront dashboard to Configure > Menu

Each menu can contain several groups, which contains categories, then items, mod groups and modifiers. (see diagram below).
