Multiple Vendors, One Item: Compare Pricing at a Glance

The Problem

You buy the same ingredient from different vendors depending on price and availability. But keeping track of who charges what - and in what units - is a spreadsheet nightmare. When prices change, you have no quick way to compare.

The Solution

BarSight lets you set up multiple vendor definitions for each inventory item. See all your suppliers' pricing in one table, right on the item form. No more hunting through invoices or separate spreadsheets.

How to Use It

1. Navigate to Kitchen → Inventory
2. Click on an inventory item
3. Scroll to the Vendor Definitions section
4. Click Add Vendor Definition for each supplier
5. Enter each vendor's pricing, SKU, and purchase unit
6. All vendors now appear in the comparison table

Pro Tip

Click any row in the vendor table to quickly edit that definition. Great for updating prices when you get a new price list from a supplier.
