Kitchen actions
Raise a requisition, receive a delivery and do a stocktake from your phone, if you work for a company on ChefAdmin.
If your company runs on ChefAdmin, the Hub has an Actions section with three jobs you can do on the kitchen floor:
- : ask for stock.
- : check a supplier delivery in.
- : count what is on the shelf.
Everything else, such as purchase orders, suppliers and prices, is done on the desktop.
Who sees Actions
Actions appear for chefs in a company account. Solo chef accounts do not have them. Staff with view-only access can open them but cannot change anything.
Choosing your brand and shop
Each action works for one company brand and one shop. If you are assigned to more than one, ChefAdmin asks you to Choose a brand, then Choose a shop. Switch later with the [brand] · change pill at the top.
Requisition
Add items
Tap + Add item, search for an ingredient, enter the quantity and tap Add. Repeat for each item.
Adjust
Change any quantity on the list; it saves itself as you type. Tap × to remove a line. Your draft is kept if you leave and come back.
Submit
Tap Submit requisition. You will see Requisition sent. It goes to your manager. Your sent requisitions appear under Recent.
Receive delivery
Pick the delivery
Under Incoming deliveries, tap the delivery you are receiving. Each one is an approved purchase order, shown with the supplier and PO number.
Check each line
Each line shows what was ordered and the PO price. The received quantity starts at the ordered amount: change it if less arrived.
Check prices against the delivery note
Enter the note price if it differs from the PO price, then choose Accept or Reject for that price.
Or tap Scan note and photograph the delivery note. ChefAdmin reads it and fills in the lines it can match. Check them, and enter anything it missed by hand. Scanning uses your AI allowance.
Confirm
Tap Confirm delivery. Received items go into stock, and the purchase order is closed.
What happens to shortfalls: anything that arrived short, or that you rejected, is put on a new purchase order to the same supplier for your manager to re-order. You will see how many lines went into stock and how many went back.
Stocktake
- Open Stocktake. The Count sheet lists the brand's ingredients by category.
- Enter the count for each item. Each count saves as you go, and the progress bar shows how many you have counted.
- Tap Submit stocktake when you are done.
You will see Stocktake submitted. and a Variance list comparing your count with the book stock. The difference is posted to inventory.
If the count sheet is empty, the brand has no ingredients in its marketlist yet. Ask your manager.
