Generate purchasing lists and equipment lists from your confirmed orders

In short

• Ingredient totals grouped by supplier, with adjustable pack quantities
• Equipment overview with quantities, shortfalls and availability warnings
• Adjust interactively: change quantities based on what you already have in stock
• Share fixed lists with team members by email link
• Send orders straight to suppliers that support automated ordering
• Choose whether to break sub-recipes down or keep them as sub-recipes

Totalled by supplier

Your orders contain dishes, drinks and equipment. Catermonkey adds up the underlying ingredients across all those orders and groups them by supplier. You see which packs to order and when they need to arrive. The same logic applies to equipment: see every chafing dish, every set of cutlery and every serving platter you need, broken down by date, with a warning if you're short.

Tick off as it comes in

Once generated, both lists become interactive. Tick off items as they come in or leave the storeroom. Adjust quantities based on what you have in stock. Share a fixed snapshot with your buyer or kitchen manager, so everyone works from the same numbers. If a supplier accepts automated orders, you send the list straight from Catermonkey with a requested delivery date.

Sub-recipes and double bookings

The purchasing list accounts for sub-recipes: you choose whether to break them down into raw ingredients or keep them as sub-recipes. Equipment lists warn you about double bookings through the equipment calendar, so you can arrange backup equipment before the delivery day.
