Attach Restaurant to Chain
Categories and articles
A restaurant can belong to one chain at a time. Contact Vendion to connect an existing restaurant or move it from another chain.
Prepare the connection
Provide the chain name, restaurant name and organisation number, and the person responsible. Agree with everyone involved which shared functions to use and when to make the change.
The chain’s restaurant page lists connected locations but has no button for creating a new connection. Vendion handles the connection itself.
Check afterwards
- Open Kedjeöversikt → Restauranger (Chain overview → Restaurants) and check the location is listed.
- Select Öppna admin (Open admin) and check its name and existing information.
- Review who has access. Chain administrators gain access to connected restaurants.
- Review shared functions before using them in service.
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Menu | The restaurant becomes a publishing target. Connecting it does not publish products automatically. |
| Branding | Inspect customer views and centrally controlled fields. |
| Loyalty | Check the shared programme and member balances, especially when the restaurant already has local points. |
| Gift cards | Check which cards apply and who issues online chain gift cards. |
| Accounting | Agree on responsibilities and balances with each restaurant’s bookkeeper. |
Existing menus
Independent local products and products published from a chain template can coexist. Publishing links products to their template; it does not automatically merge an existing local product merely because its name matches. Preview the publication and check for unwanted duplicates.
Leaving the chain
Plan disconnection with Vendion. Review permissions, menu settings, points, gift cards and outstanding balances first. Do not assume that all previous settings or balances are restored automatically.
This feature is part of Vendion Chain Operations.
