How to set up Automatic Ordering

Automatic ordering works out what to reorder by comparing what you have sold against your PAR levels, and fills a cart with the difference.

Select the ☰ menu button in the top left of the screen, then Restaurant Pro Suite.

1. Select Automated Ordering.

2. Select Let's go to start.
3. Provide your sales for the period — connect your point of sale system, upload a menu items spreadsheet, or enter quantities sold by hand.
4. Add any wastage that would not show up in sales — a dropped tray, a broken carton — so stock is not overstated.
5. Save and continue. Open Pantry works out what has fallen below PAR and proposes the quantities to bring you back up.
6. Review the proposal, adjust anything you disagree with, and add it to your cart.

Nothing is ordered without you placing it. The last step fills your cart; you still check out.

This depends on inventory being set up first — see How to set up inventory.
