The multi-unit order guide lets you manage vendor items across all your restaurant locations from one screen. Instead of logging into each location separately to update order guides, you handle it all in one place. To use this feature, your restaurants need to share a Concept in Garde (meaning they’ve been set up with a shared product database).
When is this useful? If you’re working with the same supplier across multiple locations — say Sysco delivers to all three of your spots — the multi-unit order guide saves you from setting up and maintaining separate order guides for each one. It’s also great for centralized purchasing teams who want consistency across locations. Add a new item once, push it to every location, done.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Pro tip: If one of your locations hasn’t ordered from a vendor that already exists at your other locations, you can use the multi-unit order guide to create that vendor and populate their order guide. Adding an item to a restaurant’s order guide that hasn’t ordered from that vendor before will automatically create the vendor in their account. Pretty handy for onboarding new locations.

​
1. Go to Vendors > Vendor Page and click on the vendor you want to set up.

​
2. Click on “Order Guide Setup.”

​
3. Select “Manage Items for All Restaurants.”

​
4. You’ll see the multi-unit order guide showing all vendor items across your locations for that vendor.

​
5. Add vendor items to individual restaurants’ order guides.

This works even if the vendor hasn’t been created in that location yet — the process handles that automatically.

​
6. Use the “All” column for bulk changes.

Toggle the Yes/No dropdown in the “All” column to add or remove a vendor item from every restaurant in your concept in one step.

​
7. Hit Save.

Your changes go into effect immediately.
Note: Pars are location-specific and aren’t shared across units. Each restaurant can set their own par levels based on their individual volume.
