# Unit management for collective catering

The Organization keeps ingredients, recipe sheets, Clients and Contracts. Each Unit has its own stock, production and meal counts. Management defines which Units each person can access and looks at consolidated dashboards.

## What you organize

- One set of ingredients and recipe sheets for the Organization
- Local version of a sheet for one Unit
- Stock, production and meal counts by Unit
- Access by person, role and Unit

## Catalogue in the Organization

Ingredients, packages and recipe sheets are set up once, for the whole Organization. If a Unit needs a different composition or yield, it gets its own version of the sheet, with no parallel copy and no change to the other Units.

## Execution in the Unit

Stock movements, requisitions, production, meal counts and expenses belong to the Unit where they happened. One Unit's balance is never mixed with another's.

## Access by Unit and role

Each member gets a role and the Units they can access. The role defines what the person sees and does, and the server checks that permission on every action. The owner can access all Units covered by the subscription.

## Consolidated dashboards

Intelligence brings together dashboards by period and by Unit, only for the Units the person can access. Each dashboard shows whether the period's data is complete, partial or missing.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can an Organization have several Units?

Yes. Each Unit has its own stock, production and meal counts, and all of them use the Organization's catalogue of ingredients and recipe sheets.

### Must all Units use the same recipe sheet?

No. The Organization's sheet applies to all Units. A Unit that needs a different composition or yield gets its own version, and the others keep the original.
