Families, Categories & Subcategories

Effectively organizing your digital product library is crucial for effective bar management. Spec employs a sophisticated three-tier system comprising Families, Categories, and Subcategories to provide a comprehensive solution for categorizing products. While default selections are aligned with industry standards, customization is available to cater to the unique needs of your establishment.

Family

At the highest level of the product categorization system lies the Family. Default selections encompass a broad spectrum, ranging from beer, wine, and spirits to paper & disposable goods. Families serve as overarching containers that encapsulate all the goods you aim to manage within Spec.

Category

Nested within Families, Categories offer an additional layer of organization to further subdivide product types. For instance, within the spirits family, default categories include tequila and whiskey, while the wine family encompasses categories such as still and sparkling. Categories enhance precision in cataloging and facilitate more detailed insights into your inventory.

Subcategory

The bottom layer of categorization, Subcategories, refines organization even further. Within specific Categories, such as whiskey, you can find subcategories like bourbon, rye, and others.

Customization Options

While the default selections for Families, Categories, and Subcategories align with industry standards, we understand that customization is often necessary. Utilize the '+' and '...' icons to seamlessly create or delete options, tailoring the categorization system to meet the unique demands of your establishment.
