Shared Menus: Creating a shared item group

What is an item group?

An item group is for collecting similar items. For example, if you create an item group for "Baja bowls" with a selection of bowl options inside it, the baja bowl heading will appear on the menu. When a customer selects the baja bowl, it will show the list of options.
