Recipes Management

Overview: Recipes Management​

The Recipes module connects your Ingredients (raw materials) with your Menu Items (what you sell). Defining recipes enables automatic inventory deduction when an item is sold and supports accurate recipe costing.

Types of Recipes​

  1. Regular Recipe: A standard dish composed of raw ingredients.
    • Example: A "Chicken Burger" uses 1 Bun, 1 Chicken Patty, and 10g Lettuce.
  2. Combo Recipe: A bundle made up of existing Regular menu items.
    • Example: A "Burger Meal" contains 1 Chicken Burger + 1 Fries + 1 Soda.
