How to set up a recipe (bill of materials)

A recipe (bill of materials) links a menu product to the ingredients it uses, so stock deducts automatically on every sale. For perishables, batch and expiry tracking (FEFO) keeps the oldest stock moving first.

  1. 1

    Open the product

    In Menu Management, select the product you want to cost.

  2. 2

    Add the bill of materials

    Add the ingredients and quantities the product uses.

  3. 3

    Save

    Save the recipe; the product now deducts those ingredients from stock whenever it sells.

  4. 4

    Track batches (perishables)

    For perishable ingredients, use batch and expiry tracking (FEFO) so the oldest stock is used first.
