The purchasing workflow of catering industry is:

1. Prepare purchasing plan. No matter which department the restaurant belongs to, it should prepare a material demand plan, submit it to the finance department at the end of each month for cost control review, then submit it to the finance manager and the competent vice president for approval, and finally transfer it to the buyer after being approved by the general manager.

2. Selection of purchasing materials. The selection, confirmation and quotation of all purchased materials must be determined by the purchasing department on the basis of fully grasping the market conditions. The user department has the right to know the price of the required items and raise questions, and actively inform the purchasing department of the suppliers and shopping intentions, so as to select suppliers with high quality, low price and good service.

3. Approval of purchased materials. The purchased materials can only be purchased after the examination and approval procedures are complete.

4. Acceptance and transportation of purchased materials. Check the acceptance of materials, and reject or go through formalities for materials that do not meet the contents of the purchase application form.
