Industry Insights
The Challenge vs. The Solution
Outlets raise requisitions in Parchika, and the central kitchen sees a combined production plan. Standard recipes set the ingredients for every batch. Finished batches are transferred to outlets with their batch number and expiry date, and transfer costs are charged to the receiving outlet.
Common Problems
- Outlet requisitions arrive by phone or chat and are hard to consolidate.
- Gravies, sauces and marinades taste different from batch to batch.
- No record of which batch was sent to which outlet.
- Central kitchen costs are never allocated back to the outlets.
Parchika Benefits
- One production plan for every outlet.
- Consistent taste and portions across locations.
- Trace any item at an outlet back to its batch.
- Accurate food cost for each outlet.
