Once the guide is built, Order Guide becomes the faster everyday ordering surface.

It is especially helpful when multiple people share the same buying work.

Quick facts

Start here

  • Guides are most valuable when ordering is frequent and repeatable.
  • Guide usage works best when the underlying vendor and ingredient data stays current.
  • Keep the guide close to the real buying flow, not a perfect theory.

Step 1: Start with the saved guide, not a blank order

  • Use the guide to save time on staple items and repeat patterns.
  • Only step outside the guide when the order really is unusual.
The saved guide speeds up repeat orders by putting staple items in front of the buyer right away.

Step 2: Feed learning back into the guide

  • If buyers keep adding the same extra items, update the guide.
  • That way the guide keeps getting better instead of slowly losing trust.
Feed real buying behavior back into the guide so the next order is faster and more complete.
