We recently made a bulk update to our Menu Items & as a lot of these had already been added to Bookings, we now need to manually locate each one & update it on the relevant Booking. It would be a great timesaver if there was the option to "Do you want to adjust assigned menu items?"
To ensure past reporting is not affected, it should apply only to future Bookings
Imagine you are a client that has signed a contract and the price is $40. Then we go and update our menus to be $45 and if it automatically overrides the price to $45. The menu items are subject to change due to seasonality however when they have locked in a price this is not so easy to change. The menu items on the other hand I think would always be OK to override.
If we know that there is a client that would be really unhappy with the change in price then we may decide not to increase their price and to honour the old price.
Hence why it would be ideal to be able to tick box which ones we want to change. Alternatively, if we can't do that and it would override everything then we would need to pull a report and go in and manually change back the ones that we feel are not ok to change.
So I guess there are two things:
  • automatically updating menu item prices
  • automatically updating menu item choice group options
Would be amazing if there was a drop down that you could tick if you want to do one or both of these things when updating the back end.
