Why Prep Station for multi-unit restaurants
01
Brand-standard recipes
One canonical library across regions so plate cost and allergens stay honest at every site.
02
Local inventory truth
Each kitchen owns its on-hand, pars, and receiving—no shared fictional warehouse count.
03
Shared modifiers
One Boxed Lunch Options group for all kitchens instead of rebuilding choices per location.

Shared recipes, local stock

Four kitchens. Four recipe cards. Four truths. Brand consistency dies when every site maintains its own spreadsheet.
Corporate wants one formula. The line needs local stock that is actually on the shelf. Forcing a single inventory number across sites is how you invent shortages.
Take multi-unit seriously
Share the recipe. Keep inventory local. Let modifiers travel with the brand—not as a copy-paste chore.
Shared recipes
Change the formula once
Share recipes across locations so multi-unit ops use one canonical library. Live cost from vendor prices rolls through prep recipes; scale covers without re-entering every line.
- Cost per serving from yield
- Prep recipes as first-class ingredients
- Allergens roll up from ingredients
Dig into yield-aware recipe costing and recipe books & sharing.

Local inventory
Each kitchen knows its cooler
Stock by location with storage tracking and par levels. Receive POs at the site that ordered them. Reports can still roll sales and food cost by location for regional managers.
Modifiers & locations
Same choices everywhere guests order
Share modifier groups across locations. Map kitchens under region and city. Role-based access keeps a city manager in their sites—not every cooler in the company.

Questions multi-unit teams ask
Can every location use the same recipes?
Yes. Share recipes across locations so multi-unit ops keep one canonical recipe library while each kitchen retains local inventory and on-hand counts.
Does each kitchen keep its own inventory?
Yes. Stock is location-scoped. Each kitchen sees its own on-hand, storage locations, and par levels—not one fictional warehouse for the whole brand.
Can modifier groups stay consistent across sites?
Yes. Share modifier groups across locations so one Boxed Lunch Options set powers every kitchen without rebuilding choices per site.
How do regions and kitchens organize?
Run multiple kitchens under one account with a region → city → kitchen hierarchy and role-based access so managers see the locations they own.
What if we also run a commissary hub?
Use commissary transfers to move stock from central production to satellites with approve, ship, and receive workflows—same account, same recipe library.
