What is Production Execution?
Introduction
When using Production Execution, you no longer have to print spreadsheets for your team -- or 'feed' your spreadsheets with the amount produced for each recipe. Galley understands the importance of clear instructions for the team and provides an intuitive way to manage production while accurately deducting inventory.
How Production Execution Can Help
Galley Production Execution allows you to export recipe instructions, start/finish recipes, decrement inventory levels as recipes are executed, and create finished goods, providing real-time visibility into stock levels and reducing the risk of overstocking or stockouts.
By executing planned production, users can:
- Accurately Manage Team Production
- Minimize Execution Errors
- Keep Inventory Updated
Galley's Production Execution empowers food service operations to achieve greater precision, efficiency, and control over their production process.
Production Calendar
Once a Production Plan is approved, Galley displays all planned recipes on the Production Calendar page, providing teams with a detailed breakdown of the recipes and sub-recipes that must be done each day.
How the Production Execution Works
Suggested Steps For Running Production
- Print Instructions: Select the recipes you want your team to execute, customize the report and export the instructions.
- Start Execution: Starting from the top, start the recipe you want to execute. Once the recipe execution starts, its status will move to "In Progress".
- Finish the Recipe: Finish the "in progress" recipe to deduct the inventory and create the finished good.
Note: If you finish a recipe with unfinished sub-recipes, Galley will automatically finish them, assuming that each expected quantity was produced. - View the Produced Finished Good: Navigate to the Recipe Page to view the produced finished good under the Produced tab.
How to Customize Your Recipe Instructions
Before the production team executes recipes, they must know and follow the instructions. For that reason, Galley allows recipe instructions to be customized and exported so you can print them and pass them to your team.
Here are a few examples of how you can customize your export:
- Exclude Recipes With Tags: You may exclude any recipe with specific tags. For instance, let's say you have a recipe for food packaging you don't want to print. If you tag them as "Don't Print", you can easily exclude this recipe from the export.
- Include Recipes With Tags: You can also export recipes with only specific tags. For instance, if you want to print instructions for a specific station, you can tag a recipe with the "Station" tag, and select it when generating the export.
- System of Units: Recipes and components units can be customized to the preferred system of unit. You can select one of the following options:
- Default (recipe yield)
- Metric
- Imperial
- Kind of Unit: Recipes and components units can be customized to the preferred unit kind. You can select one of the following options:
- Default (recipe yield)
- Volume
- Weight
Finishing Recipes
When finishing a recipe, considering it may have unfinished sub-recipes, Galley will ask for confirmation if it should finish them as well. Once confirmed, Galley will assume the sub-recipes quantities that the expected amount was produced.
What is a Finished Good?
While the recipe represents the steps and requirements to produce food, the finished good is the actual result of its execution. It's the tangible dish/component originating from a recipe that can be stored in inventory for later consumption or fulfillment of a menu.
Once you finish a recipe execution, Galley will deduct the vendor items from inventory and create the finished good of that recipe.
For Galley, every executed recipe or sub-recipe can create a finished good, not just sellable goods.
