The procurement of ingredients is one of the cornerstones of restaurant operations. Picture this: a bustling kitchen and a steady flow of customers. In the midst of this controlled chaos, traditional methods of managing purchase orders can quickly become a bottleneck. Fortunately, there is a solution to this situation: a kitchen software system that also manages restaurant purchase orders streamlines the entire procurement process and provides numerous tools for smarter ordering.
Products and Suppliers
All the products you use, along with detailed information, are easy to manage in the system. Product information can be effortlessly imported or updated electronically directly from suppliers and manufacturers with just a few clicks. This ensures that both logistical product information, such as product codes, sizes, and supplier prices, and content-related product information, such as ingredients, allergens, and nutritional values, are always up to date in the system. You can also manage supplier information in the system which enables you to create purchase orders by supplier and monitor purchases.
Restaurant Purchase Orders as Needed
In a kitchen system, you can build recipes directly from the purchase products and further create menus from recipes. The system automatically calculates the ingredient needs based on portion sizes and quantities set for menus or recipes. In an advanced system, you can generate purchase orders by supplier directly from the shopping list.
It’s essential to take the products in the inventory into account when placing purchase orders to avoid excess inventory which might end up in waste. A kitchen system that includes inventory management provides real-time information about the products you have in the inventory. Therefore, when placing restaurant purchase orders, there is no need to check and count the products in the inventory manually as you can see that information at a glance on the screen.
Electronic Purchase Orders Directly from the System
Once the system has generated a purchase order, you can send it to the supplier without an effort. In the easiest scenario, you can send the purchase order electronically directly from the kitchen system to the supplier. You can also download the purchase order from the system as a file and send it as an email attachment to suppliers who don’t use electronic ordering. Recording and tracking deliveries related to purchase orders ensure that inventory levels and prices are up to date in the system.
Technology Provides Clear Benefits to Managing Restaurant Purchase Orders
Utilizing technology for restaurant purchase orders brings clear benefits. The system automates many tasks related to information management. It also handles calculations quickly and accurately. Thanks to precise calculations, the risk of human errors can be minimized, making it easy to order products as needed and keep the inventory on a desired level. Overall, the system saves time and resources for other tasks.
