Getting started
Working across outlets
What the outlet switcher changes, what it does not, and how stock moves between locations.

An outlet is a physical location: a restaurant, a kiosk, a central kitchen. Almost everything in Servora belongs to one.
The switcher
The control at the top of the sidebar sets your active outlet. It changes what you are looking at — the orders, the stock, the roster, the sales. It does not change what you are allowed to do; your role travels with you.
You only see outlets you have been given access to. If you need another one, a Company Admin grants it under Settings → Users.
What is shared and what is not
| Shared across the company | Per outlet |
|---|---|
| Ingredients and their costs | Stock on hand |
| Recipes and prep items | Purchase orders and deliveries |
| Suppliers | Sales records and targets |
| Employees and payroll | Rosters and attendance |
| Label templates and shelf-life rules | Labels actually printed |
The split follows a simple rule: definitions are company-wide, events are per outlet. A recipe is a definition. Cooking it is an event.
Moving stock between outlets
Use Stock Management → Transfers. A transfer has two ends and both have to act: the sending outlet creates and sends it, the receiving outlet confirms what actually arrived. Until the second half happens the stock is in transit and belongs to neither — which is exactly what you want a variance report to tell you.
Companies, not just outlets
If you operate more than one legal entity, each is a separate company with its own outlets, users, subscription and data. Switch companies from the same area of the sidebar. Nothing crosses between them.
Still stuck?
Every screen in Servora has the same shape — a filter strip, a table, and the actions on the right. If a guide is missing or out of date, tell your account manager and it gets fixed in the manual, not just in an email.
