Vocabularies that shape your entire catalog
One master list. Every order, product, and quote inherits from it.
You sell chicken satay marked 'gluten-free' and 'halal.' You tag orders by event type—wedding, corporate lunch, birthday. You label weekly menus 'Basic' or 'Premium.' Taxonomies are the controlled vocabularies behind those choices: allergens, diets, tags, order categories, cancellation reasons, portions, packaging types, suppliers, vehicles, and menu labels.
- Allergens and diets propagate to every product automatically
- Order categories and tags power search filters across the calendar and reports
- Portions and packaging carry premium pricing that flows into quotes
- Suppliers link to ingredients for cost tracking and margin calculation
- Vehicles integrate with delivery planning (King subscription feature)
- Menu labels group recurring meal orders on invoices
Rename or remove a diet here, and it updates everywhere — no hunting through hundreds of products. Delete a supplier, and linked ingredients stay intact but simply show 'unknown supplier' until you reassign them. Add a new portion size once, and every dish in your catalogue inherits the option.
Tags are special: you create them on the fly—on a product, customer, order, or location—and they appear in this central list the moment you hit save. Come back later to rename or delete them in bulk. The system warns you before irreversible deletions; for example, removing an allergen scrubs it from every product that references it.
Packaging and portions can carry premium prices. Menu labels (used in the Meal Service module) determine how your invoice groups weekly orders: '12× Basic / 5× Luxury.' Vehicles and suppliers integrate with planning and purchasing workflows. Financial statuses let you track payment milestones beyond the standard order lifecycle.
Why it matters: when your kitchen preps 200 covers and the client suddenly says 'no peanuts,' you filter the preparation list by allergen and know instantly which dishes are safe. When your accountant asks how many corporate events you ran last quarter, you filter by order category and export a report. Consistent taxonomy means consistent reporting, easier compliance, and fewer last-minute surprises.
Who benefits
Business owner
You decide once what 'halal' means, what 'corporate event' encompasses, or which suppliers you work with. Every new hire references the same master list.
Sales / account manager
Tag orders by event type—wedding, barbecue, corporate—and filter the calendar to see your pipeline by category. Rename a tag once; every historical order updates.
Kitchen manager
Filter the preparation list by allergen or diet. When a client says 'no shellfish,' you know which dishes to skip in seconds.
Accounting
Financial statuses beyond 'invoiced'—'partially paid,' 'overdue'—let you track receivables without leaving the order screen.
Delivery staff
Vehicle assignments live in the system. You see which van is scheduled, who's driving, and the order details in one place.
