Branch demand · system map
From the kitchen asking to procurement buying
Kitchen and front of house ask the branch store. What the store can't give goes up — through the manager — to procurement, who turn it into a purchase order.

02 · Storekeeper
Check the store
Each line is either given from the branch store, or passed on as a demand to buy.
In stock → issue to kitchen
Short → send up as a demand
Approves the demand for his store.
03 · Manager team
Branch manager approves
Checks quantities against covers and budget. Can approve, or send it back with a reason.
Sent back is a conversation, not a refusal — the storekeeper corrects and resubmits.
Whoever raised it cannot sign it.
04 · Procurement head
Final approval
Only after the branch manager has approved. Checks the buy and signs it — or sends it back with a reason.
Approved → the purchase order is made next.
Nothing is bought until both have signed.
