Labor Admin > Entities > Commissaries
Commissary entities will only be applicable if you also use Advantage.
A commissary is a vendor within your organization that produces menu or prep items, such as pies, pizza dough, sauces, etc., and ships them to restaurant entities within the organization or sells them retail.
When you define a commissary, you must choose a shipping method for your commissary products; either 'Centralized Shipping' from the commissary (the default), or 'Departmental Shipping' from your commissary departments. In the first case, a commissary menu containing shipping reports and screens will appear on the Compeat menu bar of that commissary entity. In the second case, a commissary menu will appear on the menu bar of each department, but not the commissary.
If you will use a commissary, you can add or edit the commissary entity information in Workforce.
