Amicus allows you to add sub-categories within categories so that it is easier to structure and manage your menus. You can access your sub-categories on the Place an Order (Edit) screen. If your categories have a sub category then you can access that sub-category by clicking on its parent category. Once you are looking at the sub-categories their parent category will be displayed in the header.
