Manage Menus Across Franchises with the Menu Settings page
About menu settings
Menu settings streamline menu management and customization. Franchisors have centralized control over restaurant menus through multi-menu management and a central menu. Franchisees are given replicated versions of the central menu. Their changes do not impact the central menu.
Franchisors must select the permissions they want to grant franchisees to update the menu. If permissions are not enabled, modifications made by franchisees automatically revert to the original menu. Franchisors can decide to allow franchisees to:
Modify item names and descriptions
Modify item prices
Modify item connections
Update SKU
Modify the Point of Sale image
Remove unavailable items from their location
Before you begin
