Click Get started, then use Proto to configure Food Franchise Management for your business. Begin with one active service location, its menu and a representative meal order.
A Service Coordinator records the customer reference, lines, service time, owner and location, then checks the order before acceptance.
A Kitchen Lead follows the accepted order and its meal lines. A submitted kitchen ticket revision goes to the Kitchen Supervisor for review before release.
Menu recipes names the product, revision, effective date and yield. Recipe ingredients contain the ingredient quantities and units for that yield.
Ingredient movements record signed quantities, units, time, source meal line and operation key. Waste remains distinct from served portions.
The Service Manager checks the prepared scope and actual handoff, then records served portions and service time on the linked records.
Payment evidence stores provider-issued events. A Finance Reviewer checks each event's identity, type, amount and reference before marking it verified.
The Service Manager reads the operation receipts entry and linked effects before another attempt. An uncertain result stays in the exception queue until it is reconciled.
Products and recipes provide the menu basis, while meal orders names an organization and service location. Agree local ownership and effective recipe use during setup.
