NCR Console - Creating Recipes

December 20, 2016

Description

The Inventory Management module of NCR Console allows you to build item recipes using your list of raw ingredients. For example, a hamburger recipe might include the ingredients bun and beef. This allows you to have detailed ingredient level inventory tracking for your store.

Note: Keep in mind that if you are a part of a franchise brand with NCR Console Inventory Management, this feature may not be accessible within your account. 

This is a multi-step process. Follow each individual step below to help as you create recipes:

    • Continue adding items until you have completed your recipe

    • Keep in mind that quantity and units will vary based off of how you receive the item

    • It is important that the recipe usage compliments the unit of measure that the raw ingredient is set up with. For example:

      1. If you set up Burger Patties as a raw ingredient and they are delivered as a case of 100 patties, the recipe units should reference the number of patties used to create that recipe (e.g. 1 each)

      2. If you set up a Ketchup as a raw ingredient and it is delivered as a 1 gallon container, the recipe units should reference the number of ounces used to create that recipe (e.g. 2 ounces)

16. Enter the quantity of the item that the recipe build yields. For example:

    • For a hamburger, the total quantity for the recipe items shown is used for 1 each (or 1 hamburger)
