Local menu changes and locked fields

A restaurant can have both independent products and copies from the chain menu template. Open the correct restaurant, then Meny → Produkter → Alla artiklar (Menu → Products → All items).

Read the labels

• Från kedja (From chain): the product is linked to a template.
• Lokalt anpassad (Locally adapted): a local edit has been saved. This is not a comparison showing precisely which values differ from the template.
• Dold (Hidden): the product is locally hidden from the POS.
• The lock indicator shows that some details are centrally controlled.

Make a local change

1. Open the product editor.
2. Check which fields are locked and cannot be edited.
3. Change the unlocked details the restaurant may adapt.
4. Save and check the product in the POS or customer view where it is used.

A local change affects that restaurant’s copy. It does not change the chain template or other restaurants’ products.

Later chain publications

Previously published products retain their existing locks. A new publication can update a locked name, price or category, for example. Unlocked local details are retained. However, there are limits to which fields update: images, guest descriptions and certain VAT settings require separate checks.

Locking or unlocking a field in Meny-mall changes the default for new copies. It does not automatically change locks in previously published copies. If responsibility for an existing product needs changing, ask the chain manager or Vendion for help and check the local result.

Hide a chain product

Use the product’s visibility button to hide it locally from the POS. Select it again to make it visible. Hiding a local copy does not delete the template or hide the product at other restaurants.

Check your other sales channels too. Local POS visibility and each channel’s product selection are separate settings.
