Back Office: Inventory - Sub Recipe
- Sign
into the Back Office and select a Store.
- On the left-side Navigation Panel, click Inventory
then Sub Recipe.

The
Sub Recipe page appears, which displays a table containing a list of Sub
Recipes that have already been created.
If
you are preparing a recipe in-house using the inventory items and then use that
recipe to make a menu item, in that case you need to make a Sub Recipe under
inventory.
Example: For pizza, if you make the dough
in-house, you will use flour, salt, yeast, sugar,
and oil. All these ingredients will be the inventory items, and
the dough would be the sub recipe that you will use to make menu
items which are pizza.
