You can create a Location Group to categorize restaurants with same priced menus into the same group. A Location Group is useful when customizing menu pricing for different branches of your restaurants and applying changes simultaneously to those locations. For example, you can group together shops in prime locations and adjust the menu to feature higher-priced items compared to other locations.

In this article, you’ll learn how to create and manage a Location Group, and apply pricing changes to shops in a Location Group.

Set different pricing for items depending on location

When a Menu Template is applied to a Location Group, the system recognizes the prices included in the menu and applies them to all shops included within the group. However, you can customize the items in a Menu Template to have different pricing for each Location Group. For example, if the original price of a drink item is listed as $10, upon applying the Menu Template to a location group and setting the price to $15, the drink item will be priced as $15.

To set different pricing for an item depending on the item’s location, follow the steps below: 

1. Log in to the Merchant Portal.
2. On the left panel, click on Menu Template, then click on Menu Template.
3. Next to the menu template with the menu item that you want to modify, click on Edit.
4. Next to the item that you want to modify, click on Edit.
5. From the General tab, scroll down to Availability & Price.
6. Next to Location Group, select the location group that you want to create a different price for the item.
   
7. Enter the new List Price for the item. 
   
8. Enter the new Price Tier for the item.
   
9. Click on Save to confirm.
10. Repeat the same steps for other items in the menu.

Once the price has been changed, the modified price will be automatically reflected in the Item’s settings.
