Platform vs. Spreadsheets

What changes when you switch to FoodShop

Most supermarket catering operations run on phone calls, paper notes, and spreadsheets. Here is what the same workflows look like on the platform.

Order Management

Without the platform

  • Phone calls and handwritten notes
  • No central order tracking
  • Orders lost or duplicated
  • No pickup time management

With FoodShop

Orders appear in a calendar view organized by pickup date. Staff see customer name, product, quantity, and time — filterable by department.

Capacity & Rules

Without the platform

  • No way to limit orders per day
  • Seasonal menus managed manually
  • No lead time enforcement — customers order too late

With FoodShop

Per-store capacity limits prevent over-ordering. Date rules control seasonal availability. Lead times ensure production has enough notice. All configured through a visual interface — no code.

Production Planning

Without the platform

  • Store manager manually tallies orders
  • Counts covers, aggregates ingredients
  • Prints or writes production lists by hand
  • Errors increase with volume

With FoodShop

One click prints the daily production plan — what to prepare, how much, for which orders. Two print types: production slips and delivery slips. It covers fully paid, partially paid and unpaid orders.
