How to Order & Other Helpful Info
Desire
You want to purchase something for your unit that you can access. Most of the time your unit's kitchen manager can use this website to place that order for you (yay!).
Research the budget
Check your unit bylaws!
Anyone can access the website, but only some managers have ordering access and can place the orders from CFS.
