Using it
Section titled “Using it”Ask in a Grok chat, e.g. “Use ScanFood to show today’s sales” — more in Example questions.
Several shops or a whole franchise
Section titled “Several shops or a whole franchise”When you allow access you can tick several shops in one connection, or choose Whole franchise (branches your account gains access to later are included automatically). When you ask, name the shop or branch in your question — if the connection covers several shops and you don’t, ScanFood never guesses: it sends the list of shops back so the AI asks you which one you mean. Every answer the AI receives carries the name of the shop the numbers belong to. Totals across all branches are available when “Whole franchise” was chosen (example questions). To add or remove shops later, disconnect and connect again (how to disconnect).
Removing the connection
Section titled “Removing the connection”Delete the connector at grok.com/connectors. To cut access on the ScanFood side too, disconnect at api.scanfood.co/oauth/connections.
Privacy
Section titled “Privacy”Data Grok reads from ScanFood is sent to xAI for processing, under its policies and your account settings — see Permissions & privacy.
