Understanding price lists

Price lists allow you to create preset pricing schemes to apply to menu items based on restaurant location and order profile.

For example, you have 10 locations across five cities. With different prices in each city, you set up five price lists to apply the proper pricing in each location. For your daily drink specials, you link an order profile called Happy hour to a sixth price list, which will automatically apply that pricing at a scheduled time.

Many restaurants find managing prices at the item level to be easier than using price lists. Once you enable price lists, you cannot use other methods of updating prices.
