Publish Menu to Restaurants

Publishing creates or updates restaurant copies of the chain’s active template products. You need menu-publishing permission in addition to any permission to edit templates.

Preview

1. Open Kedjeöversikt → Meny-mall and check that changes are saved.
2. Select Publicera (Publish).
3. In Publicera meny-mall, select receiving restaurants or Markera alla (Select all).
4. Select Dry-run (förhandsvisa) (Preview).
5. Read each restaurant’s Nya, Uppdaterade and Hoppade över (New, Updated and Skipped), including errors.

Previewing does not change restaurant menus. Counts can include menu groups and other supporting entries, so they are not always product counts. Publishing includes active template products, not only the product you last edited.

Run a fresh preview whenever you change the template or restaurant selection. An earlier result may not describe the new selection.

Resolve skipped entries

Read the messages before continuing. A product may lack a usable product group at a receiving restaurant. A print destination may lack a required printer. Correct the relevant restaurant’s settings and preview again.

Publish and check

1. Once the selection and preview are correct, select Publicera på riktigt (Publish for real).
2. Wait for the result message.
3. Open each affected restaurant through Restauranger → Öppna admin (Restaurants → Open admin).
4. Review Meny → Produkter → Alla artiklar (Menu → Products → All items).
5. Check price, VAT, product group, availability and print destination, plus the product’s appearance in relevant customer views.

The dialog closes after publishing; its result message does not replace checking the restaurant. Consider publishing to one location first.

Existing products

Previously published products are updated through their template link. An independent local product with the same name is not automatically merged, so check for duplicates on the first publication.

Existing product copies retain their own locks. Later publishing updates only supported details that are centrally locked in that copy. Do not assume a new image, description or template lock setting will automatically reach every location. Ask the chain manager or Vendion for help when a locked detail needs correcting and does not update.
