    Shared Menu Template

    2 min read
    Categories and articles

    The chain’s Meny-mall (Menu template) contains products you can publish to selected restaurants. Each restaurant receives its own product copies. Saving a template does not immediately change restaurant menus.

    Create a template product

    1. Open Kedjeöversikt → Meny-mall (Chain overview → Menu template).
    2. Select Ny mallprodukt (New template product).
    3. Enter Namn, Menygrupp and Pris (kr) (Name, Menu group and Price in SEK). The editor opens as a panel on the right.
    4. Check Moms % and Momskategori (varierad moms) (VAT percentage and variable VAT category). Choose the appropriate category or Ärv från varugrupp (Inherit from product group) for how the product will be sold.
    5. Optionally enter Beskrivning (gäst), Emoji and Bild-URL (Guest description, Emoji and Image URL).
    6. Review Låst (Locked) and Aktiv i kedjan (Active in chain).
    7. Select Spara (Save).

    The image field takes a web address; this form has no image upload. The initial VAT value is not confirmation of the correct VAT for every way you sell the product.

    Prepare restaurant menus

    Check that categories can use the correct product groups at receiving restaurants. Publishing may skip a product if a required product group is missing. The preview helps identify such issues.

    The template form is not a complete copy of the restaurant menu editor. It does not provide allergen, recipe, modifier or cost-price editing. Complete these details in each restaurant’s menu where needed and check them before selling the product.

    Edit or pause

    Use the pencil in the product list, save your changes, then publish to the relevant restaurants.

    Aktiv i kedjan controls inclusion in future publications. Switching it off does not automatically pause product copies already present in restaurant menus. Manage their availability at each restaurant.

    Initial publication and later updates

    New copies receive the template’s details and current locks. Later publications update only certain centrally locked details in existing copies. Changing template locks does not automatically change locks on previously published products. In particular, check images, descriptions and VAT settings after changes; a new publication does not update all of these details.

    Start with one restaurant, preview and check the result before publishing more widely.
