Does Your Commissary Need Its Own Garde Subscription?
Here is how to decide: Physically separate location? If your commissary is a standalone kitchen (not sharing a roof with one of your restaurants), a separate subscription is the recommended approach. Need separate reporting? If you want to track COGS for your commissary and restaurant independently, use a separate subscription. This gives you clean, location-specific numbers.Separate invoices for the restaurant and commissary are required in order to get separate reporting.
