Checking your menu against a platform, and fixing single locations

The Gorilla Dash → ezCater side of the toggle lists your products — everything on an Active menu — and shows what each maps to. It is the view for answering "is our menu covered?" and for dealing with the locations where a brand-wide mapping does not land.

The columns, left to right

The columns follow the path an order takes: what comes in, what it becomes, what goes out.

ColumnWhat it shows
Mapped from platform productsEvery platform product, on every platform, whose incoming orders are attributed to this Gorilla Dash product — one line each, the platform named in its colour.
Gorilla Dash productsYour product and its default price.
Map to ezCater productsThe platform product it maps to on the selected platform, its price, and its reach across your locations.
StatusNeeds mapping, Suggested or Confirmed.

The Location filter shows what applies at one location: a product that maps brand-wide but is not on that location's platform menu is flagged Not on this location menu.

Where this mapping works

Each location types its own ezCater menu, so a product can be on 38 location menus under one name and absent — or differently named — on the other 78. The location-pin icon on a mapped row opens Where this mapping works:

  • Works at 38 of 116 locations — the mapping lands on those locations' menus.
  • Locations where it doesn't work — the rest. Where a location's menu has a product that genuinely reads like yours, it is suggested with Map here. Otherwise Choose product opens a picker limited to that location's menu — and if nothing there is your product, the location simply does not sell it, which is fine.
  • Location overrides — mappings that apply to one location only, with an unlink to remove each.

A location override says "at this location, this Gorilla Dash product is that platform product". It does not touch the brand-wide mapping or any other location. Removing the brand-wide mapping removes its overrides with it.

MOST GAPS ARE NOT GAPS
For a typical brand, the locations where a mapping "doesn't work" are overwhelmingly locations that do not sell that product on the platform at all. Only create an override when the location's menu really does list your product under another name. Mapping a different product to make a number go up is how orders end up attributed to the wrong dish.
