Multi-site hospitality buys the same things repeatedly, close to each location. Distance and delivery reliability are the whole decision.
Each location finds its own suppliers, so the group has no idea what it is paying in aggregate or which suppliers are reliable.
Set a radius from any location and get suppliers ordered by actual distance, so a distributor two counties away does not sit above one across town.
Supplier directoryA case short on a Friday delivery gets accepted because the kitchen needs to open, and the credit is never chased.
Receiving captures what arrived against what was ordered, and the shortfall holds the invoice rather than relying on somebody remembering to raise a credit.
LogisticsThe same order goes in every week by phone or email, and any change is a conversation rather than a record.
Repeat an earlier order as a new one, with contract pricing applied automatically for each account rather than re-quoted every week.
