Step 5 − Click on the button Save & Close.

Step 6 − Repeating step (4) and step (5) we have created one more submenu called Additional Service.

Step 7 − After you have finished creating submenus in menu items, the Menu Manager − Menu Items will look like as shown below. We can see that there are two submenus present below the Service Menu.
