DishInk uses a two-level pricing system. Every item has a base price that applies everywhere by default. On multi-location accounts, individual branches can override the base price or hide the item entirely.

​
Setting a base price

The base price is set in the item’s edit form under Price (K). This price applies to all locations unless a branch override is set. To update a base price:
  1. Go to Front Operations → Manage Menu
  2. Click Edit on the item
  3. Update the Price field and click Save Changes

​
Branch price overrides (multi-location)

On multi-location accounts, each branch can have its own price for any item. This is useful when the same dish costs more at a city-centre location than at a suburban one.

​
Opening the branch price editor

Click the Locations button (📍) on any item row to open the Branch Price Editor. It shows all your branches with their current override status.

​
Setting a branch price

  1. Find the branch row in the editor
  2. Enter a price in the K field — leave it blank to use the base price
  3. Click Save [Branch] Price
Each branch saves independently. You can set different prices for each location in the same session.

​
Resetting to base price

If a branch has an override, a Reset button appears on its row. Click it to remove the override and revert to the base price.

​
Hiding an item at a specific branch

Use the Visible / Hidden toggle on the branch row to hide the item at that location. Hidden items do not appear on that branch’s public menu or POS. A red Hidden badge and a warning message appear when an item is set to hidden.
Hiding an item at a branch is different from marking it unavailable globally. A hidden item only disappears at that specific branch — all other branches are unaffected.

​
Override indicators

Items with branch overrides show a small N location overrides badge next to the base price in the menu list. This lets you quickly see which items have been customised per branch.

​
Branch staff and pricing

Branch staff with the can_manage_menu permission but without full multi-location access can only manage prices for their own branch. When they click Edit (shown as Set Price) on an item, they are taken directly to the branch price editor for their location only. They cannot edit the base price or see other branches.

​
Tips & best practices

Set your base price to the most common price across your locations. Only set overrides for branches where the price genuinely differs — this keeps the branch price editor clean.
If an item is not sold at a particular branch at all, hide it at that branch rather than setting a zero price. Hidden items don’t appear on the menu or POS, which avoids confusion for staff.
