A quantity needs a unit.
Ten can mean ten pieces, ten packs or ten kilograms. The Horecal basket records a quantity, while its specification note lets you describe the unit and pack size. Write both so your business and the sourcing team understand the same requirement.
Describe the pack and the total.
For example, “4 bags, 25 kg each, total 100 kg” explains the requirement without assuming which pack formats are available. “6 cartons, 12 bottles per carton, 1 litre per bottle” describes a different kind of requirement. These are illustrative examples, not published Horecal product packs or prices.
Match the details to the product.
Bread and buns may need piece counts and dimensions. Meat may need kilograms, cut and bone-in or boneless preference. Dairy and beverages may need pack volume and product type. Packaging may need dimensions, capacity and number of pieces. Canned items may also require confirmation of drained weight.
Do not treat products as interchangeable.
Equivalent total weight does not necessarily make two items equivalent for your kitchen. Brand, formulation, handling requirements and usable yield can affect the suitability of a product. Ask the team to confirm the proposed item rather than relying on a generic catalogue photo.
Keep the final agreement clear.
Review the quotation against the total quantity you need. Confirm any changed pack size or substitution before agreeing supply. If your kitchen needs a specific format, mention it at the start of the enquiry and again when reviewing the quote.
