👀 What is a restaurant group in haddock?
💡When we talk about a restaurant group, we mean all the restaurants that share the same user with the role of "owner".
In this way, if there are 3 restaurants in which the owner is the same, they will form a group.
👀 How do you share information about recipe costings and suppliers between the different restaurants in the group?
To share information, we have created what we call Assignments.
Assignments allow us to share recipe costings and suppliers between the different restaurants so that when we make changes, these are pushed to the recipe costings you share with the rest of the restaurants.
That way you will not have to create the same recipe costings or suppliers in the different restaurants in the group; by assigning them, you will share the same information.
Practical example
- I have 1 supplier 🚚 in Restaurant 1 that I share with Restaurant 2 but not with Restaurant 3. I can assign the supplier from Restaurant 2 so that it also appears in Restaurant 2's supplier list.
- I have a dish 🍔 that I sell in Restaurant 1 and in Restaurant 2 and 3 with the same price and the same ingredients. I only need to create the dish's recipe costing in the restaurant I want and then assign it to the other restaurants.
🍎 Shared products
When we buy from our suppliers, we often do so for several of our restaurants, so the products can be the same.
Now you can assign products between your different restaurants.
The price is the only data that will be specific to each restaurant, since we know it can vary between them, so it will only be visible once a purchase document for the product has been uploaded.
💡 The unit of measure will be shared between restaurants. When making a purchase, products will be linked automatically if they share the same name and unit of measure, so the setup only has to be done once.
🍎 How do you assign a product?
❗️Currently, this action can only be done from the "Owner" profile.
- Click the Add product option and choose Group products from the dropdown.
- Search for the product you want to assign to the restaurant.
❗️Remember that only the products you do not yet have in this restaurant will appear in the list.
- Choose the Assign option once you have selected the products you want to add.
🍎 How do you know a product is assigned?
When you assign a product, only its configuration is shared, not its prices, so if the product has not yet been bought in that restaurant, you will know it is an assigned product.
🍎 Can I unassign or delete a product?
Like any other product, if you do not want to display it, you can hide it without any problem.
To do so, just select the products and click the bottom option "Hide".
🍎 What happens when I buy that assigned product?
Once you buy the product, it will be automatically merged with the assigned one and you will be able to see all purchase details and the price history.
Until a purchase is made in the restaurant for this product, it will appear without amounts or purchase lines.
❗️We recommend reading the article What documents show my products? to know where to view each product purchase.
🚚 Group suppliers
Just as there are products we buy in several restaurants, there are also suppliers that are repeated across restaurants.
That is why suppliers can be assigned to the group restaurants where we also buy from them.
💡When you assign a supplier, the tax information, the category, and the configuration of its products, not its products, will be shared.
🚚 How do you assign a supplier to another restaurant in the group?
❗️Currently, this action can only be done from the "Owner" profile.
- Click the New supplier option and choose Group supplier from the dropdown.
- Search for the supplier you want to assign to the restaurant.
❗️Remember that only the ones you do not yet have in this restaurant will appear in the list.
- Choose the Add suppliers option once you have selected the ones you want to assign.
🚚 How do you unassign a supplier?
- Open its record from the suppliers module and click the three dots you will find in the top-right corner.
- Click Delete so that supplier stops being part of that restaurant.
❗️Remember that if the supplier has associated documents in that restaurant, you will not be able to delete it until you associate those documents with another supplier.
Only this supplier will be deleted from this restaurant, but it will continue to belong to the original restaurant.
🍔 Group recipe costings
Recipe costings can also be used in several restaurants, so in order to only have to create them once, they can be shared between restaurants once created.
💡When you assign a recipe costing, all the information it contains will be shared. Any changes made at ingredient level or to basic information will affect all recipe costings in the group.
🍽️ How do you assign recipe costings to another restaurant?
❗️Currently, this action can only be done from the "Owner" profile.
- Click the New recipe costing option and choose Group recipe costings from the dropdown.
- Search for the recipe costing you want to assign to that restaurant. You can use the search bar and choose whether to view preparations or dishes.
❗️Remember that only the ones you do not yet have in this restaurant will appear in the list.
- Select the recipe costings you want to transfer to that restaurant and choose Assign.
❗️Keep in mind that when assigned, everything you change in a recipe costing will be updated in all restaurants where it is shared_._
🍽️ How do you unassign a recipe costing?
- Open its record from the recipe costings module and click the three dots you will find in the top-right corner.
- Select the Delete option to unassign recipe costings from that restaurant.
❗️When you delete a recipe costing from a restaurant, it will continue to be part of the restaurant where the recipe costing was created.
🍽️ How do you edit just one recipe costing?
If you need to modify the recipe costing in just one restaurant, you should duplicate the recipe costing you want to edit so you do not alter the information in the other restaurants.
- Assign the recipe costing as indicated in point How do you assign a recipe costing?.
- Access the recipe costing.
- Click the three dots you will find in the top-right corner.
- Select the Duplicate option.
- Edit the necessary information in the duplicated recipe costing, so it will not affect the rest of the group's recipe costings.
🍎 What if I don't buy the same products?
Each time we assign a recipe costing, haddock will try to find the ingredients in the restaurant 🕵️♀️
- If it cannot find these products, it will create them so that when it is bought for the first time, it can be linked to the recipe costing.
- If for some reason it already exists in the restaurant, but is not called the same thing, we can group the product that was created when assigning the recipe costing and the product we already had.
Practical example
- We assign a recipe costing with an ingredient called Fried tomato.
- In the restaurant where we assign it, we buy the ingredient under the name Crushed fried tomato 500g.
- We group both products so the recipe costing is complete and has the price of Crushed fried tomato 500g.
