Bulk Operations

Anywhere a job means doing the same thing forty times, there should be a bulk tool. These are the ones that exist today.

Report column settings, in bulk#

Report columns are personal — each user sees the columns they chose. Rolling a standard layout out to a whole team is a bulk apply: configure the layout once, select the users, apply. New staff get the standard view in one step instead of configuring forty reports. (Some specialised reports have fixed layouts; the settings screen labels which reports it can reach.)

Menu, in bulk#

The menu import/export round-trip is the bulk tool for prices, availability and menu structure. For kitchen-side maintenance, the kitchen tools screen gathers batch operations over items and departments.

Payments, in bulk#

Credit customers accumulate open orders; settling them one by one misstates nobody's patience. Bulk payment takes a customer's open orders and settles them in one motion against one received amount — the normal way corporate accounts pay.

Vouchers at day close#

Day close prompts for the day's unapproved manual vouchers. Where no approval chain is configured this is a one-motion bulk approve; where a voucher approval chain is active, the chain governs — bulk approval never bypasses it.

The export-first habit applies to every tool on this page: before a bulk apply, capture the current state (an export, a screenshot of the settings) so "put it back" is always an option.
