Why Omnisearch matters for catering
01
Stop menu hunting
A confirmed order, vendor credit, or prep recipe is one search away instead of three sidebar clicks.
02
Keep the call moving
While a client is on the phone, pull their last event, open quote, and answer without putting them on hold.
03
Works from any page
⌘K opens the palette over recipes, production, delivery, or CRM so context never breaks your flow.

Catering runs on names and numbers. Your software should not bury them.
The GM needs SO202607-2847 . The chef needs the tikka marinade. Purchasing needs the Sysco invoice from Tuesday. Every extra click is time stolen from the event on the calendar.

Mid-call answers
Answer the client before they hang up
"Can we add twenty more for Thursday?" "Did the last invoice go out?" Type the company name and the customer, their orders, and their invoices come back together, so you answer on the call instead of promising a callback.
- Search a customer's name to find their sales orders and invoices
- Or type the order number straight off the client's email
- Open the order and change the headcount while they are still on the line
Speed is retention
Answer the client while the kitchen keeps cooking
The right record in seconds means fewer hold music moments and fewer "let me call you back" threads.
Search finds it. These workflows finish the job.
Jump to a quote with Omnisearch, then build it in sales orders and quotes. Ask the AI sous chef when you need an answer about your data instead of a report. See pricing for plans.
Ask your data a question. Get the records back.
Roux searches recipes, ingredients, orders, customers, vendors and more, and answers with a table that links to every record. No report to build first. When the question is bigger, he builds a report and saves it.
Try asking Roux
- “Which recipes use chicken thighs?”
- “Orders for Harbor Tech this year”
- “Vendors that sell oat milk”
- “Customers who haven't ordered since June”
Roux proposes, you approve. Nothing saves until you do, and he only works in the apps you have turned on.

Six recipes use chicken thighs. Chicken Tikka uses the most, at 18 lb a batch. Each name opens the recipe.
Omnisearch FAQ
Straight answers about search scope, keyboard shortcuts, and the live demo.
What can I search with Omnisearch?
Recipes, ingredients, vendors, customers, sales orders, invoices, purchase orders, menus, menu items, recipe books, meal plans, categories, vendor items, tags, tasks, and task lists. Quick Actions also jump you to common pages like New Recipe or Sales Orders.
How do I open Omnisearch?
Press ⌘K on Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux. You can also click the search button in the top navigation bar.
Does Omnisearch search across locations?
Yes. Results respect your account and the locations you can access, so a commissary manager and a kitchen chef see the records their role allows.
Can I jump straight to a record?
Yes. Select a result with Enter or click it and PrepStation opens that recipe, order, customer, or vendor immediately.
Does Omnisearch replace saved searches?
No. Saved searches and favorites still hold named filter presets on list pages. Omnisearch is for when you already know the name or number and want to get there in one keystroke.
Do I need to type the full name or number?
No. A few letters of a customer, dish, or order number are enough. Results come back grouped by type, so the record you meant is near the top.
Is Omnisearch included in the demo?
Yes. Omnisearch is part of the platform on every plan. Try the live demo with sample catering data loaded.
