# Recipe/Modifiers

### **Overview** 

The Recipe/Modifiers function is used for multiple quantities of an item or multiple items combining together to form a recipe.

This can only be access when using the QSR application (Enabled under Configuration > Company Detail)

### **Step 1 - Creating your ingredients**

To make Recipe/Modifiers you have to create the items that are going to make up the Recipe/Modifier. These are created as you would all items for sale (**Management --**>**Master Item** --> **item type Store**).

 Create an item for every ingredient that you will use as part of the Recipe, as in having a Hamburger on the Menu

* Create an item for each ingredient. For a hamburger: create bun, beef patty, lettuce, tomato, mustard
* Create an item for any modifiers: turkey patty, veggie patty, wheat bun

Usually the Selling Price would be **$0**

###  **Step 2 - Creating the Menu Products**

 **Creating a Package**

Similar to creating an item (but this time, Item Type will be **Package**). This is your Recipe, it will have the ingredients added to this "package".

An example: The Package would be "Hamburger", with the selling price of the hamburger

Once the items are created, you can create a Package Item (Management > Master Item - item type Package)

![](https://1065618780-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LlIO4qyICYYVdwt64xd%2F-LwlPiI_NFPI_q0be1lr%2F-LwlRqHY8TKViDDanZbE%2FoyyibGVl7QbxkyCnwuztWwXHhaFbQaqXyw.png?alt=media\&token=212c7a15-0f2a-4326-b2d9-a831acc7677c)

Now you are able to create a Recipe/Modifier.

###  **Step 3 - Creating the Recipe**

 Now you are ready to create the Recipe. You will be adding the ingredients to made a recipe (hamburger: bun, beef patty, lettuce, tomato, mustard) to the package (hamburger)\
 \
**Creating the Recipe:**\
From the Recipe/Modifiers screen, select the Package Item from the drop down menu

* **UPC** - UPC of the ingredients that are going to make up your Recipe
* **Description -** The description of the items will auto populate
* **Quantity *****-*** The quantity of the ingredient used in the Recipe
* **Group -**  Used to create the modifiers (optional). If you want to offer three types of cheese you will create a Group "Cheese" and select it from the drop down
* **Hidden -** Enable if you do not want the ingredient to display as an ingredient on the POS (only needed if you are tracking inventory of each ingredient)

{% hint style="info" %}
Each recipe needs at least two units in the sale, they can be a combination of items or multiples of one item
{% endhint %}

### **Step 4 - Creating the Modifiers (Optional)**

 From the Recipe/Modifiers screen, you can create the modifier group so that the modifiers will be available (turkey patty, veggie patty, wheat bun)\
\
The group must include the "primary" item, the item that is indicated in your recipe.

* **UPC** - The UPC of ingredients that will make up your group
* **Description -** The description of the items will auto populate
* **Differential Amoun**t - If any price differential for substituting this ingredient
