How do I add a concept?
You can add a concept by going to your admin panel and selecting "Concepts." You can also find that page here.
From there, simply select the button + Create Concept.
Please note: All Starter and Scale users will have their first concept created for them automatically. Simply navigate to the concept page and rename your concept to your business or brand name.
What do I name my location and location ID?
Your location name and location ID can be the same. Location IDs are used to track costing by location when importing ingredient costs with a spreadsheet or purchase data feed (such as Invoice Processing or IMS integration).
Why is my Location ID important?
The Location ID is very important for items that are location specific, mainly purchase costs. When setting up Purchase Data or EDI/Invoice Processing, the feeds are linked to your account by your Location ID. Changing your Location ID after Invoice processing is set up may interfere with those feeds and will result in purchase costs not updating properly. It is strongly encouraged best practice once your EDI or Invoice Processing feeds are set up not to change your Location ID. If necessary to do so please contact us at support@getmeez.com so we can facilitate the change to ensure no interruptions in your processing feeds.
What is the difference between a concept and a location?
In meez, a "concept" is a way to compartmentalize your recipes and team members according to a brand or restaurant type while keeping them under the same account.
For example, your company could have a "Fried Chicken" concept, a "Fine Dining" concept, and a "Catering" concept, with each having its own collection of recipes. You can also share recipes across multiple concepts.
A location is a costing center within a concept. For instance, if your Fried Chicken concept has locations in several cities, you can track costs for each location separately by adding each location to the overall concept.
If your concept has multiple locations, but they all receive the same pricing from your vendors, there is no need to add multiple locations to your concept.
How do I add and manage team members, and troubleshoot invitation issues
To add a team member to your account
Navigate to the Team Access page.
Click the "+Add Team Member" button to add a new person to your team, or click the three dots to the right of an existing team member to update their permissions.
To ensure the user is successfully invited, verify that all required fields such as permissions, role (e.g., Viewer or Editor), and assigned locations are filled out before saving the invitation.
From there, you can select which concept and locations you want to add them to using the checkboxes below the View, Edit and Manager options.
If the invite doesn't appear, double-check the team members email address and the configuration for roles and permissions. Incomplete invites remain in a pending state.
To learn more about the team member permissions, click here.
In my "All" dropdown menu, I sometimes see "Personal." What does this mean?
Every meez account comes with a "Personal" concept. Recipes assigned to your Personal concept won't be visible to anyone on your team. We highly recommend, when creating recipes, you only assign them to the Personal concept if you want to keep them private.
I accidentally created a concept. How do I delete it?
If you want to delete a concept, please renamed the concept "Delete Me" and reach out to support@getmeez.com with your request.
