Hospitality Uniform Ordering Portal

A new starter orders the whole starter kit in one go, picks up at the venue if that suits, and the venue pays on account or by card.

How it works

How it works for your clients

New starters dressed before their first shift.

  • Each new starter, from a link in their email

    A new starter signs in from a link emailed to them and orders their own kit, from the range their role allows.
  • Packs: the whole starter kit in one click

    A pack bundles the whole starter kit, such as a chef jacket, apron and shirt, into one item a new starter orders in one go.
  • Orders by venue, with pickup at the venue if they prefer

    Orders are tracked by venue, and any venue can be marked as a pickup location for staff who would rather collect than wait on a delivery.
  • On account, invoiced through Xero, or by card

    Pay on account, invoiced through Xero, or by card through Stripe. A venue can be billed against its own Xero contact.

The rules

The rules that matter for this kind of client

  • Packs for a starter kit

    Bundle a new starter's kit into a pack ordered in one click, still itemised on the packing slip and posted to Xero as its own lines.
  • Pickup at the venue

    Mark a venue as a pickup location so staff can collect an order rather than wait for a delivery.
  • Billing per venue

    Bill a venue against its own Xero contact instead of the company's, or take payment by card through Stripe.
  • Branch approval where it's wanted

    Turn on manager approval for a venue that wants a sign-off before an order goes out.
  • Magic-link sign-in for casual staff

    Casual and rostered staff can sign in from a link emailed to them rather than remembering a password for a job they might work once a month.
What it looks like

What their portal looks like

A new starter usually waits a week while someone rounds up sizes from three different drawers. Bundle the kit into a pack, and the new starter orders all of it in one go, in their own sizes.
  • The starter kit as one pack, ordered in a click
  • Pickup at the venue, if that suits better
  • On account through Xero, or by card through Stripe
  • Casual staff sign in from a link, no password to remember

Before and after

Today a new starter waits a week while someone rounds up sizes. Here the new starter orders the whole starter pack in one go, and it ships to the venue.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can we bundle a whole starter kit as one order?

Yes, as a pack: a kit of items ordered as one, still itemised on the packing slip and posted as its own lines to Xero.

Can staff collect an order instead of having it delivered?

Yes. Any venue can be marked as a pickup location.

Can casual staff order without remembering a password?

Yes. Staff can sign in from a magic link emailed to them instead of a password.

How do venues pay?

On account, invoiced through Xero, or by card through Stripe. A venue can be billed against its own Xero contact instead of the company's.

What does pricing look like?

Pricing depends on how your business is set up, so it is quoted after a conversation rather than published as a number.
