Menu for multiple locations: uniform and yet flexible

Same menu, different prices

A menu for multiple branches should be recognizable, but not all locations are the same. Rent, location, and audience differ. Some businesses therefore have a uniform menu with different prices per location, others have a common basic menu with local additions.

With digital menus, the simplest solution is often a separate menu for each location, generated from the same template. With Same-QR, you can create multiple hosted pages and maintain a separate menu for each location. You also set the currency for each menu – which is practical if one location is in Switzerland and another in Austria.

Local dishes

A location at the train station needs a quick lunch offering, one in the old town might need a larger evening menu. Local specialties or a daily offering specific to each location make each branch lively without abandoning the common line.

• Common core: Dishes and names that are the same everywhere.
• Local additions: daily offer, lunch menu, regional specialties.
• Uniform allergen labeling: same system at all locations.

Order with many codes

With multiple locations, the number of QR codes grows quickly: tables, windows, flyers, delivery packaging, per branch. Without organization, after one year no one knows which code leads where.

• Name every code uniquely, e.g. "Graz Hauptplatz – Tables".
• Group codes by location and use.
• Keep a list of which code is printed where.

Same-QR assigns codes with labels, such as one per location and one per print type. This way, you can find all codes for a branch with one click and view their scans at a glance.

Who is allowed to change what

With multiple locations, clear responsibilities are needed: Who maintains the shared menu? Who is allowed to change the daily special at a location? Who checks the allergens when a recipe changes? Write it down, otherwise someone will change the prices in one branch and forget the others.

A fixed appointment for comparing all menus is helpful, especially after price or recipe changes.

Evaluation per location

Separate codes per location show how often the digital menu is used. This is not a substitute for cash register data, but it provides clues: Is the window code scanned more frequently in the pedestrian zone than at the train station? Do flyer calls come mainly from one neighborhood?

With campaigns that include utm parameters in the link, you can also assign page views to specific locations or actions in your web analytics.

Checklist for multiple locations

• Common core of the menu is defined.
• For each location, a separate menu with its own prices, where necessary.
• QR codes clearly named and organized by location.
• Responsibilities for changes are regulated in writing.
• Fixed appointment for the reconciliation of all menus.
• Allergen labeling at all locations according to the same system.

Those who clarify these points early on grow without chaos. Each new location then becomes a copy with local adaptations rather than a new project.
