Abut Storage Areas
A storage area in MealSuite represents a place where food and non-food items are stored in the facility.
Note: Storage areas are not shared between parent and child accounts.
Storage Types
A storage area is assigned a storage type. A food or non-food item is also assigned a storage type by Mealsuite staff.
When an item and a storage area share the same storage type, then the system automatically assigns the item to the storage area.
The storage types for food are as follows:
- Fresh/Raw
- Frozen
- Refrigerated
- Shelf Stable
The storage types for non-food items are as follows:
- Chemicals
- Paper
- Equipment
- My Inventory Items
- General Merchandise
