How Can I Automate Supplier Orders for Fresh Produce?
You automate produce orders by saving standing orders for each supplier and day, generating a draft automatically before the cut-off time, and letting the chef adjust quantities before it is sent. On Jestor, this runs through recurring automation and a purchase order table.
Fresh produce is ordered often, usually in a hurry, and usually by message. Small mistakes in quantity lead either to waste or to a dish being unavailable on a busy night.
What manual produce ordering costs
- Orders sent late and missing the supplier's cut-off
- Quantities guessed instead of based on stock and bookings
- Messages with no record of what was ordered
- Time spent every day on the same repetitive task
How automated produce ordering works
- A standing order is saved for each supplier and delivery day
- A draft is created automatically before the cut-off time
- The chef reviews and changes quantities in a few clicks
- The final order is sent by email or WhatsApp and stored as a record
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Drafts save the daily effort of starting from zero
- Review keeps control in the hands of the kitchen
- Every order is recorded and can be checked at delivery
- This scales from one supplier to a large supplier network
