In a company with multiple locations, there may be slightly different menu items available across locations. An example of this may be that a locations use locally sourced beers, and hence each location will have a slightly different drinks selection.
There are three ways to address this. We will go through each option. Depending on how you wish to set up your menu, any of these options will work.
1: Assignment
Using the example of varying beers across locations, All beers offered can be created as shared items. Then, when assigning the beer items to locations, only assign a particular item to locations that actively stock this.
After adding all beer options to the shared drinks menu, and assigning the menu configuration to the location, the drinks menu at a location will only contain the beer options that were assigned to it.
2: Disabling
If it is easiest to assign all beer options to every location, do not set the POS information to items on the locations that a particular beer is offered. This will prevent the item from being active on this location. Alternatively, if the item is already mapped to the POS, on the location assignment page for the item, select all locations where the beer is not offered, Edit selected and set the status to off
3: Visibility tool
If on a final check of the location menu before going active with a shared menu, you notice that a menu item is present on a location that it is not available at, there is a "visibility" tool. This will make the menu item not visible to the customer.
