Why branch menus drift
One outlet changes a price. Another runs out of an item. A third prints old QR material. A fourth updates WhatsApp replies but not Google. Over time the brand has many menu versions and no simple way to know what customers see.

Used as the approved source
Local price, availability, local item, branch details
Used for customer truth at that branch
What to control
Shared item names and sections
Outlet-level price differences
Local availability
Branch-specific service modes
QR links for each outlet
Google and social links per outlet
Public branch pages where customer truth differs
Printed materials per outlet
Questions owners ask
Should every outlet show exactly the same menu?
Only when the business actually operates that way. The safer setup is shared structure with controlled outlet differences.
