A recipe tells Demeter which ingredients a dish uses. Once it's linked to your POS items, every sale deducts those ingredients and shows the dish's food cost.

Create a recipe

1. Open Recipes and click New Recipe.
2. Name: give the dish a name. You can rename it later.
3. Ingredients: pick every ingredient the dish might use.
4. Portions: add at least one way the dish is served, such as Half, Whole or 10-Pax. For each portion, enter how much of each ingredient it uses.
5. Map POS items: link each portion to the POS items that should deduct it when sold.
6. Review: check the cost, then click Finish.
