Bulk Menu Management
Update menus, prices and items across every location at once. Built for food businesses and anyone with a price list.
Bulk menu management keeps one master catalogue of categories, items, descriptions and prices, and publishes it to every location. Individual sites can override a price or mark an item unavailable.
What it does
A price change across twenty restaurants is twenty separate edits made by twenty different people, or one person losing an afternoon. Either way some locations end up showing last season prices, and the customer finds out at the counter. That is the worst possible place to find out.
Menus are unusually punishing because they change often and get read at the moment somebody is deciding to buy. A stale description is a missed opportunity. A stale price is an argument with a customer holding a card. The gap between the menu you publish and the menu you serve costs you trust directly.
Central menu management turns the work around. You keep the catalogue once. Categories, items, descriptions and prices. Then you publish it to every location, with overrides where a site genuinely differs. One change spreads instead of being repeated, and the master stays the version everyone works from.
The same shape works well beyond food. Service lists, treatment menus and price lists all behave the same way. A catalogue that varies a little by site and changes more often than anyone plans for.
Everything you get
One master catalogue
Build it once with categories, items, descriptions and prices, and treat it as the version everyone works from.
Publish to many locations
Push the menu to any selection of profiles in one action instead of editing each site.
Price overrides per site
Set a master price and override it only where a location really differs, leaving the master intact.
Item availability per site
Mark an item unavailable at particular locations without taking it out of the master.
Change every price at once
Apply a percentage or a fixed change across a category or the whole menu. This is how seasonal repricing should work.
Schedule the change
Set a price change to take effect on a date rather than doing it by hand on the morning.
Control the order
Decide how sections and items are arranged, and keep that the same across every location.
Preview before it publishes
See exactly what goes out to each location, including which overrides apply.
Works beyond food
Service lists, treatment menus and price lists all use the same structure.
From setup to first result
- 1
Build the master catalogue
Categories, items, descriptions and prices, entered once.
- 2
Set the master prices
The default every location uses unless you say otherwise.
- 3
Add the real overrides
Locations that genuinely charge differently get an override. Everything else follows the master.
- 4
Mark what is unavailable where
An item missing at two sites stays in the master and is switched off for those two.
- 5
Preview the publish
Check what each location will show, overrides included.
- 6
Publish or schedule it
Push it now, or set the date the new prices should start.
- 7
Check it landed everywhere
A menu that reached eighteen of twenty looks exactly the same as one that reached all twenty.

A stale price is worse than a stale description
One is a missed opportunity. The other is a customer at the counter being told a different number to the one they read.
Menus change more than anything else
Prices, seasons, supply. This is the field that goes out of date fastest and gets edited by hand most often.
Overrides stop the flattening
Without a way to record a real local difference, central publishing either overwrites it or gets abandoned.
Timing matters for prices
A price rise applied by hand on the morning reaches some sites late. Scheduling it means every location changes at the same moment.
It is read at the moment of buying
A menu is not background information. Somebody is looking at it while deciding whether to come in.
The same shape fits service businesses
A treatment list or a price list has exactly the same problem, and usually no tooling at all.
What it measures
- Items and categories in the master
- Locations carrying the menu
- Overrides in use and where
- Items unavailable per location
- Locations confirmed updated
- Price changes queued and their start dates
Reports you can send

Override list
Where a site differs from the master, and by how much.

Who this is built for

Treatment lists and price lists in one place instead of twenty.
Update a client menu across their estate without twenty logins.
Get more out of it
- Keep one master and use overrides for the real differences. Do not maintain several menus.
- Schedule price rises for a date rather than doing them on the morning.
- Read the publish preview so you can see which overrides apply.
- Check the confirmation. Eighteen of twenty looks like twenty from a dashboard.
- Switch items off rather than deleting them, so the master stays complete.
- Review the override list now and then. Old overrides outlive the reason for them.
Keeping a separate menu per site
It feels safer and it guarantees the estate drifts. One master with overrides is the only version that stays current.
Publishing a price change on the morning
Some sites go late, and for a few hours you are quoting two prices for the same thing.
Deleting items instead of switching them off
Deleting removes it from the master. Switching it off at two sites keeps the catalogue whole.
Overrides nobody reviews
An override set for a good reason two years ago is now just a site charging the wrong price.
Not checking it published
A menu that reached most locations gives no error. The ones it missed keep serving the old prices.

Questions people ask
What can I manage in bulk?
Categories, items, descriptions, prices, availability and the order things appear in, across every location that carries the menu.
Can locations have different prices?
Yes. Set a master price and override it only where a site really differs. The master stays intact and everything else follows it.
What if an item is unavailable at one site?
Switch it off for that location. It stays in the master catalogue, so you are not rebuilding the menu when it comes back.
Can I schedule a price change?
Yes, and you should. Doing it by hand on the morning means some locations change late and you are briefly quoting two prices.
Does this only work for restaurants?
No. Service lists, treatment menus and price lists have the same shape. A catalogue that varies slightly by site and changes more often than anyone expects.
How do I change all my prices at once?
Apply a percentage or a fixed amount across a category or the whole menu. That is how seasonal repricing is meant to work.
How do I know it published everywhere?
A confirmation for each location after the run. A menu that reached eighteen of twenty gives no error and looks identical from a dashboard.
Every tool. One price. Nothing extra to buy.
