A cafe or restaurant buying coffee may need roast profile, origin, format, pack size, grind, lead time, equipment, training, delivery, and account pricing. A wholesale portal should support those decisions without turning every customer into a generic ecommerce account.

Model products and roast availability

Keep product, origin, roast, format, pack, unit, price, availability, release date, subscription, equipment, and training information distinct. Show whether an item is current, seasonal, preorder, or subject to a roast schedule.

Use a source and effective date for product, allergen, or dietary information. Avoid promising a roast date or delivery window the production team cannot support.

Support account pricing and repeat orders

Account buyers may need negotiated pricing, minimums, delivery days, purchase orders, recurring orders, equipment, or a sales conversation. Let them copy a past order while rechecking price, availability, and pack.

Keep customer, account, product, order, subscription, delivery, invoice, and payment records related but separate.

Connect wholesale service

Relate questions about brew method, equipment, training, products, shipping, and delivery to the account owner. Use a review queue for stock-outs, substitutions, late roast, route issues, and order changes.

The specialty food order portal guide covers broader case-pack and wholesale state decisions.

Measure the account workflow

Review reorder use, product questions, order corrections, substitutions, delivery exceptions, invoice issues, training requests, and account retention.
