See where a product is served
One product can sit in several menus and be served at several locations; its Placements tab shows each one and what is different there.
On this page
A product exists once in your catalogue, however many menus show it. A bruschetta can be a starter in the Dinner menu and a bar snack in the Drinks menu: it is the same product in both, so a new photo or a corrected description reaches both menus at once. Which locations serve it follows from the menus they serve — see Locations, menus and the catalogue.
Put a product in another menu
Products are placed in menus in the menu builder: open the menu, add the product to a category and save. The product's own page does not change, and nothing is copied.
The Placements tab
Open the product and select the Placements tab. A product on no menu shows that it is not in any menu yet.
- Shown or hidden at this location. Select it to switch.
- Can be ordered at this location, or sold out. Select it to switch.
- Override opens everything this menu can change about the dish; this menu already has its own price.
- By location lists every location that serves the product through any of its menus, with the price guests pay there.
- By menu lists every menu the product is in, with the menu's status, the locations that serve it and the price in that menu. A menu no location serves says Not assigned to a location.
A row marked Overridden has values of its own that replace the catalogue's there: a price, a name, the visibility or the availability. Its price line shows the price guests pay next to the catalogue's.
Change the product for one location or one menu
Who can do this: Owner, Admin, Content manager, and Content editor, and at their location: Location manager
The switches on each row change that place only, and save at once:
- Visible / Hidden shows or hides the dish there.
- Available / Unavailable lets guests order it there, or shows it as sold out.
Override opens the same editor as a location's or a menu's own page: a price per currency, availability, visibility, the name and descriptions, and the photo. How overrides work and which one wins: Change dishes for one location, Change dishes for one menu and Inheritance and overrides.
To change the product everywhere instead, edit the product itself — see Add a product.
