Production Run

Chef receives the provision order and decides what to scale into a full production run. For each item, sets production quantity above booking need. The surplus becomes inventory for Pantry retail, partner homes, and Hub storage. Economics visible at every step — marginal ingredient cost vs. retail revenue.

Production qty ≥ Booking need Surplus → 3 channels 55–75% ingredient cost ratio
🏪

Guesthouse Pantry

Retail pickup & delivery. Branded labels with dot color system. QR → nutritional info.

Vendor Restock & Purchasing

When Hub inventory drops below threshold, outbound purchase orders auto-generate to connected vendors. The Hall centralizes all purchasing — properties never order direct, keeping volume pricing leverage in one place.
