# Shared menu behavior

Shared menus let another business use a menu while retaining association-level overrides for selected products, extras, options, and suboptions. The original menu and shared association remain different records.

The `BusinessMenuProduct` association stores literal fields such as `business_menu_id`, `product_id`, `price`, `upselling`, `featured`, `enabled`, `inventoried`, `quantity`, and `snooze_until`. These values can customize the shared association without changing the base product record.

For product associations, see [Update shared-menu product](https://docs.ordering.co/api-reference/guides/update-menu-shared-product/).
