Option Recipes
Options are another name for Modifiers.
Some Menu Items have Modifiers.
If you sell a burger it may come with a choice of sides. These choices could be in a Modifier Group which are attached to the Menu Item.
You know what is in the burger and you are able to create a recipe for it. But you do not know what Modifier the customer will choose as a side so there is no way to add it to the Recipe for the Menu Item. This is where Option Recipes come in.
Option Recipes can be configured in the Back Office in the Inventory Tab under Setup.
If you edit the recipe for any Menu Item that has Modifiers you will see the modifiers already listed in the Recipe.
After the Option Recipe is entered, this area will be populated automatically in any Menu Item that used that Modifier Group
- This saves you from editing the Recipe of every Menu Item.
- Inventory will only be affected when that Modifier is chosen.
You can filter by the Modifier Sets or by the Category that the Menu Item that contains the Modifier Set belongs to. The Modifiers are set into Modifiers and Stand alone Modifiers
- Set Name - The name of the Modifier Group
- Category Name – The name of the Category the Menu Item that uses the Modifier belongs to
- Modifier Name – The name of the Modifier
- # Products in Recipe – Is the number of Ingredients contained in the Recipe for that Modifier
Once you've found the modifier click on the Pencil Icon to go the edit screen.
- Choose an Ingredient from the drop-down box and click
- Repeat this step until all Ingredients have been added.
- Enter an Amount and choose a Unit for each Ingredient in the Recipe.
- After all of the information has been entered select.
- You can also choose to use the Same Recipe as another item.
You can also choose to use the Same Recipe as another item
