Link dishes to raw ingredient quantities for automatic inventory deductions and gross margin control.

1 Min read
Control food waste and maintain profitable dish margins with recipe management. 1. Ingredient Setup: Create raw food ingredients in Inventory (e.g., Beef Patty, Burger Buns, Cheddar Cheese, Tomato, Cooking Oil) with purchase unit measurements. 2. Recipe Creation: In Restaurant → Recipes, select a menu dish and specify exact ingredient portions required per serving. 3. Automatic Ingredient Depletion: Every time the dish is sold through the POS, the system automatically deducts the corresponding ingredient portions from warehouse stock. 4. Real-Time Food Costing: The system calculates the exact food cost per dish and compares it against menu selling price to display live gross profit margins.
