Skipped or no order needed

- Vanilla syrup: skipped this week as you asked, since you are buying it elsewhere.
Questions for the owner
- Whole milk had a big week at 22 gallons. Is that a normal week for you, or was it a one-off? If it was a one-off, we can lower the order.
- Do you want the whole milk order placed with Isabel Hicks before Tuesday so it arrives on your delivery day?
What it does
Takes the cafe's weekly usage and on-hand counts for coffee, milk, and related supplies and builds a reorder list for each supplier. It shows how much was used, how much is left, and how much to order, using the owner's own targets.
Use it when: Use when a cafe owner or manager needs to turn weekly usage counts of coffee beans, milk, and related supplies into a reorder list for suppliers, such as: what do I need to order, make the coffee and milk order, or build this week's reorder from my counts.
