Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • A new recipe revision replaces the one used for an already released order.
  • Prepared food is mistaken for food actually served.
  • Waste is added to served quantity rather than recorded as an ingredient movement.
  • A delivery event is entered twice under different local records.
