Do ordering

This outlet is a daily delivery basis which means the manager in this outlet who do opening shift will have to do ordering every day. The outlet's freezer and chiller has minimum space. Hence, when we do ordering, we tend to order for one day's usage only. The advantage of this is that we will be able to use the product according to the daily usage instead of ordering too much and keep in store. Sometimes when we do not notice, products like 10:1 and 4:1 beef has short shelf life for 1 month only. So if we keep on ordering a lot and do not have sufficient time to FIFO the product according to its expiry date, product may expire without our notice. And if we serve expire product to customers, the consquences will be unbearable. Our outlet is one of the lower sales restaurant in the Singapore market. In order to maximise our profit, by ordering daily usage, we will be able to minimise the wastage. For example, the syrup that we use for BIM(blending ice machine) like strawberry banana/ mocha/ mango pineapple and caramel usually only has 1 week shelf-life. Hence, I think that it will be better if we order the syrup on the previous day before it expires.
