# Products

> You enter each product once, with its price, its description and where it appears, and use it in as many menus as you like.

In **Menu**, the **Products** tab lists every product in the business: each one is the same in every menu it appears in.

**Who can:** everyone sees them. The owner, the admins and anyone with a [custom role](/en/guia/roles) that has "Product catalog: Edit" change them.

## Search

Type part of the name in **Search products** and tap **Search**. **Active** and **Archived** switch the list. The list shows where each product is ("Menu › Category") and its price; **Show the next ones** shows more.

## Create a product

1. Tap **New product**.
2. Under **Details**, fill in:
   - **Name** and **Description (optional)**.
   - **Price**, in pesos, for example `26,000` or `26000.50`. It's the same at every location.
   - **Cost (optional)**: customers don't see it; it's for your margins.
3. Under **On the menu**:
   - **Allow notes**: customers can write "no onion" when ordering it.
   - **Featured**: it's shown first in its category, with a mark.
4. Under **Diet**, check what applies: Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-free, Lactose-free, Spicy.
5. Under **Where it appears**, check the categories in each menu.
6. Tap **Create product**.

You can also create it from a category on the menu ([Menus and categories](/en/guia/cartas)).

## Edit a product

Tap the product, change what you need and tap **Save**. If it's in several menus, the page says so: what you change shows in all of them.

## Archive and reactivate

**Archive** takes it off every menu instantly. Its place in each category is kept for when you reactivate it with **Reactivate**. Archived products are under **Archived**.
