Connect products to ingredient recipes

A recipe lists the inventory ingredients consumed when a product is ordered. Use it to connect menu sales with stock movement and ingredient cost.

Add ingredients

1. Create the stock items and check their storage and ingredient units.
2. Open Menu › Products and select the product.
3. In Ingredients, choose Add Ingredients.
4. Select an inventory item and enter the quantity used for one sold unit.
5. Review the unit beside the quantity and save.
6. Add size-specific recipes where the product has sizes.
7. Sync the cashier before testing the product.

Understand the timing

Sales stock is consumed when the order is placed, rather than waiting for payment. The console records that movement when the order uploads through Sync. Paying an unchanged order does not consume the recipe again.

Voiding an order returns its original consumption. A line marked as wasted keeps that stock used. Recipe cost and recorded shelf consumption can differ when stock is insufficient.

Modifier options can have their own ingredient recipes too.
