Requirements from the menu
Menu need + safety stock − stock on hand − orders already coming = what to buy, for any date range.
Purchasing
Buy what the menu needs — no more, no less
PreetiBhojan works out what to buy from the planned menu, the stock you hold and the orders already on their way, then takes you from quotes to approved orders on one screen.
What you get
Purchasing, done properly
Quotes from suppliers
Email a request for quotation, record each supplier's rates and pick the best line by line.
Purchase orders with approvals
Draft orders are raised per supplier and follow your approval matrix by value and category before they are sent.
Send by email or print
Email an approved order straight to the supplier or print a clean copy; either one marks it as sent.
Rate history
Every quote, order and invoice rate is kept, so the latest purchase rate is always a fact, not a guess.
Track deliveries
See what is still due, what is overdue and what has been received against every order.

Questions
About purchasing
Can we buy items that are not on the menu?
Yes. Raise a requirement by hand for anything — cleaning supplies, festival stock or emergencies — with a reason for each line.
Who approves purchase orders?
You decide. Approval rules can depend on value bands and categories and point at the roles you choose.
