kindergarten | purchase of food for kids, kitchen, cooks, warehouse, meals, recipes

[Richard Martin]

For kindergardens we designed some modules for administration: kids, fees (including calculation based on city-statutes), teachers/educators, contacts.

Now, we want to add a module to support the cooks/kitchen in purchasing the food they need. It should be based on the number of children and recipes.

Selling food is not an issue due meals are based on a fixed monthly "flate-rate" parents (and/or the city) pay for each kid.

Questions:
We suggest the production-module is the best way to realise this. Does anyone see pitfalls going with this?

[Cédric Krier]

Do you really plan to make a production order for each meal cocked?

Indeed we have to think to a similar process recently to make a
quotation and we thought that what is needed is only the computation of
the ingredients of the ordered meals for every day. We did not plan
neither to manage the stock because it is rolling to fast and it will be
a waste of time.

Today we made the decision to follow your thoughts/advice and keep it small and simple. And will start without production and warehouse.

I'll give a note when we finished the module and got some feedback from the kitchen(s).
