Setting Up Inventory Items

Inventory tracks raw ingredients (flour, milk, meat…) so you know quantities and costs and can prevent stockouts.

Inventory page: materials with their balances, units, and low-stock indicator

1. The "New Material" button to add a new ingredient to inventory
2. Each row: the item, its category, and current balance with quantity, unit, and cost
3. The "At reorder level" indicator: items that are running low

Adding an inventory item

1. Admin Panel → Inventory → Add Item.
2. Enter the name and the storage unit (kilogram, liter, piece…).
3. Set the supplier and unit cost (optional — it updates automatically from purchase orders).
4. Set the alert levels: minimum / maximum / par.

Levels

The system tracks the current balance of each item. When it drops below the minimum, that's a signal it needs reordering.

Linking to the menu

Link inventory items to recipes so they are deducted automatically with every sale and you know your food cost.
