The System is designed to help those in the hospitality industry manage their purchasing, stock control and time.
It is important when managing the database to ensure that any out of date suppliers, products or recipes are archived to ensure that the system is kept clean and tidy. If a supplier no longer provides goods for your organisation and there is no intention to use this supplier again it is important to archive the supplier.
The following document will outline the best practice method for archiving a supplier from the system.
