# Brands
> Manage product brands used in your menu.
**Brands** let you group products under a named brand (e.g. *Coca-Cola*, *House Label*, *Imported*) for internal organization and reporting. They appear as filters in the Menu Builder and on product reports, making it easier to analyse sales by brand. Note: Brands are purely internal—customers do not see them on the POS or online ordering.
## Brand Fields
| Field | Required | Description |
| ---------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Name** | Yes | The brand name displayed in the Menu Builder filter and on reports, e.g. `Coca-Cola` or `House Label` |
| **Active** | No | Toggle off to hide this brand from the filter dropdown. Products assigned to an inactive brand are not affected |
Brands are useful for multi-brand outlets (e.g. a food court stall selling both branded beverages and house-made items) or for franchise setups where you want to track performance per supplier brand. For simple single-brand businesses, brands may not be necessary.
## Create a Brand
Click **Brands** in the left sidebar under the Menu section.
Enter the **Name** and toggle **Active** as needed.
Click **Create**. The brand is immediately available in the product brand dropdown.
## Assign to Products
Go to **Menu Builder → Products**, open a product, and select a brand from the **Brand** dropdown. A product can only belong to one brand at a time.
Renaming a brand updates it everywhere — all products assigned to that brand and all historical report filters. If you need to track a renamed brand separately, create a new brand and reassign products rather than editing the existing one.
## Frequently Asked Questions
Make sure the brand is set to **Active**. Inactive brands are hidden from the product creation and edit form, though products already assigned to that brand continue to display correctly.

Yes. The Product Sales report in the Reports section can be grouped or filtered by brand. You can also export the product list (CSV) with brand data to analyse it in a spreadsheet. This lets you compare revenue across brands without manually sorting through products.
