Abstract
An online concierge system maintains a taxonomy associating one or more specific items offered by a warehouse with a generic item description. When the online concierge system receives a request to create an order from a user, the online concierge system selects a set of generic item descriptions from previously received orders and displays depictions of each generic item of the set to the user via an interface. In response to the user selecting a generic item description, the online concierge system identifies specific items associated with the selected generic item description from the taxonomy. Different identified specific items are displayed via the interface, for example as a scrollable list, allowing the user to select specific items for an order via the interface after selecting one or more generic item descriptions via the interface.
