What is a Recipe Management System?

A Recipe Management System in your POS (Point of Sale) software helps you manage the ingredients (raw materials) and finished products you sell. It ensures you keep track of your stock levels for both the ingredients and the finished products, making inventory management easy and efficient.

Let's walk through an example of how this system works using a burger recipe.

Burger Recipe Example

Ingredients for One Burger:

1 burger bun

1 patty

1 leaf of lettuce

20g cheese

2 slices of tomato

15ml mayonnaise

To utilize the Recipe Management System, you need to follow two main steps:

1. Create Ingredient Products: Set up each individual item or ingredient that makes up your finished product.
2. Create Composite Products: Combine these ingredients to form the finished product that you sell.

Step 1: Create Ingredient Products

• Login to POS Back Office Webportal
• Select “Products” from the main menu
• Go to the “Product list”
• Click the “Add Product” button
• Enter the ingredient names (e.g., burger bun, patty, mayonnaise, etc.)
• Select the correct measurement for each ingredient (e.g., mayonnaise in ml, cheese in grams)
• Tick “Ingredient Product” under Additional options
• Enter the available stock of the ingredient (e.g., if you have 2kg of cheese, enter as 2000g)
• Click the “Save” button

Step 2: Create Composite Products

• Login to POS Back Office Webportal
• Select “Products” from the main menu
• Go to the “Product list”
• Click the “Add Product” button
• Enter the composite product name (e.g., Burger)
• Tick “Composite Product” under Additional options
• Tick “Use Production” if you want to maintain stock levels of finished goods
• Add component products one by one (e.g., add burger bun and set quantity to 1, add cheese and set quantity to 20g, etc.)
• Click the “Save” button

Now, you have set up your ingredient products and composite product. You can manage the stock of the finished product with the production module.

Enabling Production Features for Existing Composite Products

To enable production features for an already created composite product:

• Login to POS Back Office Webportal
• Select “Products” from the main menu
• Go to the “Product list”
• Search and select the correct composite product
• Click the product name to edit
• Tick “Use Production” under the composite product section
• Click the “Update” button

Using the Production Feature to Add Finished Goods Stock

The "Production" feature helps you add finished products to your inventory, ensuring efficient management of both raw materials and finished goods.

• Login to Back Office Webportal
• Select “Inventory” from the main menu
• Go to “Productions”
• Click the “Add Production” button
• Select the product from the dropdown (e.g., Burger)
• Enter the stock/quantity (e.g., if you made 20 burgers, enter 20)
• Click the “Save” button

By following these steps, you can easily manage your raw materials and keep track of your finished products, ensuring a smooth and efficient inventory management process.
