Features Stock · Materials & recipes

Keep stock of the flour. Sell the bread.

You do not buy what you sell. You make it. Materials holds the flour, the oil, the fabric and the parts. Each product is made from its recipe. Meku tells you how many you can make from what is in the store room, and takes the ingredients out when you sell.

How it works

What you do, and what Meku does with it.

  1. You

    Settings → What you sell: turn on Materials and Ingredients. Restaurants, bakeries and butcheries have it on from sign-up.

    Meku

    Adds Materials to Inventory, and Made from materials to every product.

  2. You

    Inventory → Materials → Add: each material, its unit and the amount you have now.

    Meku

    Takes that opening amount once. After that, every quantity is a movement.

  3. You

    Open the product, tap Made from materials, and set what goes into one, such as 0.3 kg of flour and 20 g of sugar.

    Meku

    Calculates how many you can make and shows it as the product's stock.

  4. You

    Nothing.

    Meku

    Takes the ingredients out with each sale and adds them back with each purchase of flour. About to finish on Materials warns you before the kitchen runs out.

  • Materials with units and decimal quantities

Questions

Can a material be sold on its own?

No. A material is what you make things from. If you also sell flour by the kilo, add it as a product too.

What if a dish uses ingredients I do not track?

Add only the ones that matter to the cost. A recipe does not have to be complete to be useful.
