Order Guides
Stop guessing what to order — and how much.
Build category-based ordering lists with par levels, share a link with your kitchen team, and auto-email completed orders to your vendors. Replaces spreadsheets, paper lists, and the manager who "just knows."
Use Cases
Daily vendor ordering
Kitchen staff fill in quantities against par levels and submit — orders go straight to your vendor's email. No more handwritten lists or forgotten items.
Category-based inventory
Organize products by produce, dairy, proteins, dry goods, beverages, chemicals, paper goods — whatever categories match your operation.
Auto-email to suppliers
Completed order guides are emailed to your vendor contacts automatically. Your distributors get a clean, formatted order without a phone call.
Par level management
Set par levels for every product so your team always knows minimum quantities. No more "we're out of…" mid-service.
Shareable ordering links
Generate a unique link for each order guide. Kitchen leads and sous chefs can access from any device — no app download required.
Why This Beats Paper / Email
- Replace paper ordering sheets that get lost or coffee-stained
- Cut over-ordering and food waste with par level guidance
- Auto-email formatted orders directly to vendor contacts
- Multiple order guides per location (FOH supplies, BOH food, bar, etc.)
- Accessible from any phone or tablet — no app install needed
- Track ordering history and submission timestamps
Where To Deploy
- Create separate guides for each vendor (Sysco, US Foods, local produce)
- Set up FOH and BOH guides with different categories
- Assign kitchen leads as primary submitters with manager oversight
- Use email notifications to alert vendors and managers simultaneously
