Setting Up The Recipe Feature
The final procedure is to create a recipe for a carton of cigarettes so the program will know when a
new carton should be opened or “broken into”:
From the Inventory Maintenance screen, with the pack of cigarettes item still displayed:
1. Select the Recipe tab.
2. Select Add Ingredient.
3. Locate the carton item you created (“Brand X –
Carton” in our example).
4. Double-click on it in the list or select the Select
button.
5. Enter .10 when prompted for the Quantity
(since there are 10 packs in a carton, the
software calculates it as 1/10
th
of the carton)
and select OK.
6. Enter 0 when prompted for the Yield amount
(since there is no “wasted” quantity in this
recipe) and select OK.
7. Select Save Changes.
In the Restaurant tab of the Reporting Screen, run the Ingredients – Theoretical Usage report to view
a list of all ingredients that should have been used based on the sales recorded within the selected
date range. You can compare this list to your actual ingredients to determine if anything has been
stolen.
Tip: Use the Ingredients – Theoretical Usage report for last weekend to see what items you need to
have in stock this weekend. If you only sold 10 packs during Sunday, this report will help save you
from purchasing more than one extra carton for this Sunday.
