Overview
The Favorite Items feature lets signed-in users mark menu items as favorites and access them through a dedicated Favorites category. On mobile apps, this feature is enabled by default; on the web, it must be manually enabled in the Admin Dashboard. Once activated, the Favorites category appears at the top of the menu after a user marks their first favorite item.

Users need to be signed in to their accounts to save items as favorites and access the Favorites category.
To allow users to save favorite items and display the Favorites category on the web, this feature must be enabled in the Admin Dashboard. On mobile apps, this functionality is currently enabled by default.
If the toggle is on, the input field will be visible.
