Note: Removing products from your order guide does not mean that your supplier’s catalog will be updated. You will still be able to find those products there, unless your supplier decides to update their catalog.

How to Add and Remove Products to/from a Supplier Catalog in the Choco app

  1. Open the mobile app

  2. If you have multiple restaurants on Choco, choose which restaurant you are managing

  3. Select Suppliers in the bottom tab
