Vocabularies that shape your entire catalogue

In short

• Allergens and diets carry over 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 work 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 as you go, 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 feed into planning and purchasing. 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 and fewer last-minute surprises.
