Lunch management¶
In Odoo’s Lunch application, it is required to have someone manage the orders, vendors, and products. In addition, someone must be responsible for the orders, and notifying employees when their orders have arrived. This can be the same person.
Orders can be cancelled, sent to the vendor, confirmed upon arrival, and employees can be notified, either from the Today’s Orders dashboard, or the Control Vendors dashboard.
To manage the Lunch app, users need the appropriate Administrator rights. These can be set by navigating to the and selecting Manage Users. Then, click on the desired user to view their access rights.
For more information on access rights, refer to the Access rights documentation.

Only users with administration rights are able to view the Manager and Configuration menus in the Lunch application.
今日订单¶
To view and manage the orders for the day, navigate to . All orders for the day are presented in a list view on the Today’s Orders dashboard, with a filter for Today, and grouped by Vendor, by default.
The following information appears in the list:
Order Date: the date the order was placed.
Vendor: the vendor the product is being ordered from.
Product: the specific product ordered.
Extras: any extras selected for the product.
Notes: any information needed to be sent to the vendor.
User: the user who ordered the product.
Lunch Location: where the product is set to be delivered.
Price: the total price for the product, including all extras.
Status: the current status of the product.
Company: the company under which the order was placed. This only appears in a multi-company database.
Cancel orders¶
All users can cancel an order, not just managers of the Lunch app.
To cancel an order from a vendor, individual products must be cancelled one at a time.
On the Today’s Orders dashboard, a ✖️ Cancel button is shown at the far-right of each product line that can be cancelled. Click the ✖️ Cancel button to cancel the order for that individual product.

Only products with a red Status tag of Ordered can be cancelled.
Send orders¶
The first step in managing the Lunch app is to send the orders to the vendors.
When orders are ready to be sent, the manager responsible for sending orders must send the orders to the vendor, outside of the database (call, online order, etc.).
Once orders have been placed with the vendors, click the Send Orders button that appears next to each vendor’s name and phone number.
Once sent, the Send Orders button changes to a Confirm Orders button, and the Status column is updated from red Ordered tags to blue Sent tags, indicating the order has been sent to the vendor. Users who have placed orders in the Lunch app rely on the Status tags to track their orders.
Confirm orders¶
After orders have been sent to the vendor, the next step is to confirm the orders after they have been delivered.
On the Today’s Orders dashboard, click the Confirm Orders button that appears next to the vendor’s name and phone number.
Once confirmed, the Confirm Orders button disappears, and the Status column is updated from blue Sent tags to green Received tags, indicating the vendor has delivered the orders.
In addition, the ✖️ Cancel button at the end of each product line changes to a ✉️ Send Notification button.
If needed, instead of confirming all of the individual products from a vendor, individual products can be confirmed one at a time. To confirm an individual product, click the ✔️ Confirm button at the end of the individual product line. When confirming individual products with this method, the Confirm Orders button remains on the vendor line.
Example
A vendor receives an order for three pizzas, and an order of garlic knots. When the delivery is made to the company, the Lunch manager notices the garlic knots are missing.
The manager first marks the three pizzas as received, by individually confirming the products with the ✔️ Confirm button at the end of each product line.
Later, when the vendor delivers the garlic knots, the manager can either click the ✔️ Confirm button at the end of the line for the garlic knots, or click the Confirm Orders button that appears next to the vendor’s name and phone number.
Notify employees¶
After products are received, and the orders are confirmed, the employees must be informed that their orders have been delivered, and are ready to be picked up.
Unlike sending and confirming orders, notifications must be sent individually, and cannot be sent in a batch.
To notify the user their product has arrived, click the ✉️ Send Notification button at the end of each product line. An email is sent to the user informing them their products have been delivered.
控制供应商¶
All orders for all vendors, both past and present, can be found in the Control Vendors dashboard. To access these records, navigate to .
All orders appear in a list view, grouped alphabetically by Vendor. The list loads with all vendors expanded to show all order lines for every vendor, by default.
The following information appears in the list:
Order Date: the date the order was placed.
Vendor: the vendor the product is being ordered from.
Product: the specific product ordered.
Extras: any extras selected for the product.
Notes: any information needed to be sent to the vendor.
User: the user who ordered the product.
Lunch Location: where the product is set to be delivered.
Price: the total price for the product, including all extras.
Status: the current status of the product.
Company: the company under which the order was placed. This only appears in a multi-company database.
Orders can be cancelled, sent to the vendor, confirmed upon arrival, and employees can be notified using the same method as on the Today’s Orders dashboard.
注解
The difference between the Today’s Orders dashboard and the Control Vendors dashboard is that the Today’s Orders dashboard only displays orders for the current day, while the Control Vendors dashboard displays all orders made in the Lunch app.
