Managing Companies

Use Companies to manage the restaurant companies or locations connected to your account. Each company has its own settings, vendors, delivery locations, orders, inventory, storage units, ingredients, and recipes.

​

What is a company?

In Bestellfix, a company usually represents one restaurant, business unit, or location. A company can have its own:

• Business name
• Address and contact details
• Notification email
• Delivery locations
• Vendor connections
• Orders
• Inventory data
• Storage units
• Ingredients and recipes
• Reports

This keeps operational data separated between locations.

​

To view your companies:

1. Open Settings
2. Go to Companies

Each company may show details such as:

• Company name

​

Add a new company

If you manage more than one company, make sure the correct company is active before working. The selected company affects which data you see and edit. This includes:

• Products
• Vendors
• Orders
• Delivery locations
• Inventory
• Storage units
• Recipes
• Reports

Always check the active company before placing orders or changing settings.

​

Company-specific data

Each company keeps its own operational data.

​

Vendors

Vendor relationships are company-specific. One location may be connected to different suppliers than another location.

​

Delivery locations

Delivery locations belong to a specific company. Use Delivery Locations to manage where orders should be delivered for the selected company.

​

Orders

Orders are linked to the company that placed them. Order history, drafts, scheduled orders, and archived orders are company-specific.

​

Inventory

Inventory data is company-specific. This includes:

• Ingredients
• Storage units
• Product mappings
• Recipes
• Stock movements
• Stock counts
• Waste
