Turn one event into shopping, prep and pack lists.

Pick the menu, the date and the head count. Look it over and confirm. From then on the crew works off that one plan: what to buy, what to prep and what goes on the van. Each list gets checked off on its own.

Illustrative counts. One confirmed event, three separate tallies.

Eight hotel pans prepped. Seven in the van is still one pan short.

Prep can be done while pack-out is not. Loading the van needs its own check, against the event everyone agreed to.

The source

Lock the job before the crew starts on it.

When you confirm the order, the menu, date, head count, plan, math and money freeze together. Supplier prices can keep moving after that. What you agreed to stays put.

Sort the list by supplier or by kitchen section. Every line shows its working, your checks save, and the phone keeps count of what is left to grab.

Illustrative quantities. What you counted on the shelf comes off the need, and the math stays on the line.

Prep and pack are two different jobs.

Prep follows the notes saved when you confirmed. Pack lists the food and the equipment, carries the allergen badges, and keeps the last open line in front of you at the loading door.

Illustrative pack-out. Equipment and allergen context remain attached to their event lines.

When the plan changes, the lists say so.

Each of these shows up on the list as its own state, with the next step beside it.

  • Costed before commitment. A new order is a menu, a date, guests, and a price, estimated live as you set it up.
  • Three tabs, one plan. Shop, Prep, and Pack all read the same computed plan.
  • Pinned money bar. The numbers stay on screen while you work, and guest-count changes autosave quietly.
  • Confirm freezes everything. Confirmation saves the plan, calculations and quoted price together. Later price changes do not rewrite that quote.
  • Honest reopen. Reopening drops the frozen prices and goes back to today’s. Once purchasing starts, reopening is refused.
  • Clean duplication. Copy an event into one draft. A double-tap cannot make two.
  • Shelf check. Enter the ingredients and prepared batches you have on hand for this order.
  • Buy math shown. Every buy line can show need, on hand, pack size, and packs.
  • Vendor grouping. The shopping list groups by supplier and by kitchen section.
  • Durable check-offs. Checked items stay saved. If the plan changes, affected items need checking again.
  • Walk-in mode. On a phone, a running left-to-grab footer follows you through the list.
  • Printable lists. Shop, prep, and pack print clean: controls gone, hints kept, columns aligned for a clipboard.
  • Leftover nudges. Likely left about a quart, from your recent orders. One at a time, dismissible.
  • Quoted vs today. Confirmed orders compare the frozen quote with current prices, and say when they cannot.
  • Event cost, after. Compare the confirmed quote with purchases recorded against the event. Differences below the configured dollar threshold are not highlighted.
  • Shortfall evidence. Pack lines left open at close become reviewable evidence: short, packed, or not sure.
  • Aged plans flagged. An old frozen plan is marked old. It is never silently recomputed.
  • Per-order equipment. Hide a template line or add a one-off for this event. The menu template never changes.
  • Allergens at pack-out. Pack lists carry allergen badges.
  • Orders hub. Filter, search, and read food-cost and status badges across every event.
  • Frozen prep notes. Draft orders use the current prep notes. Confirmed orders keep the notes saved when you confirmed.

Frequently asked questions

From the first buy line to the last pan in the van.

Do Shop, Prep, and Pack use the same order?

Yes. All three read the computed plan for the event, and each keeps its own check-offs.

Can the shopping list use what is already on hand?

Yes. Each buy line can show need, trusted on hand, pack size, and packs. The shelf check belongs to this order, so counting for one event does not change a number another plan is using.

What happens when the plan changes?

Checks stay saved to the order. A plan change clears only the checks it made stale, so completed work is not erased without reason and outdated work does not stay checked.

Can the crew print the lists?

Yes. Shop, Prep, and Pack print without controls, while useful hints remain and columns align for a clipboard.

What does Pack carry besides food?

Pack includes per-order equipment, lets you hide a template line or add a one-off, and carries allergen badges for the dishes leaving the kitchen.

Close the van on the same plan you priced, shopped, and cooked.
