Recipes: make orders deduct stock
Link menu items to ingredients so accepted POS and QR orders deduct stock automatically.
The rule
Stock deducts for an order only when (1) the order is accepted, and (2) its menu items have recipe lines. The Recipes modal says it outright: "Accepted POS and QR orders deduct these quantities automatically."
Add a recipe line
- Inventory → Recipes.
- Pick the menu item, the inventory item, the qty per sale and its unit (e.g. Paneer Tikka → tomatoes, 150 g).
- Add recipe line. Repeat per ingredient.
Note
Items sold as-is (bottles, cans) can skip recipes via the direct-sale menu item field on the inventory item.
The bonus: auto 86
When any ingredient of a menu item hits zero, the item is auto-86'd on the guest menu and comes back when you refill — see Sold out. Low stock (at the threshold) raises a staff alert instead.
