# Category Groups

**Category Groups** are used to organize or segregate categories. You might want to create a category with several sub-categories. For example, you have **Meals** and **Snacks** categories. Without grouping these categories, it will make the category display on your register screen longer. We can group these categories into **Food** so that your category list is much shorter and easier to navigate.

You can add category groups in the [Back Office](app.kahero.co).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the [Back Office](app.kahero.co), under **Listings**, navigate to the **Categories** section.

This is how your **Register** will look like after adding category groups. As you can see, the **"Drinks (Non-Alcoholic)"** and **"Drinks (Alcoholic)"** categories are under the **"Beverages"** category group. You can choose to hide or show categories with category groups.
