Disassemble recipe Disassemble recipe (or recipe of disassembling) defines a set of components that can be derived after disassembling a base inventory item. These components are considered to be new inventory items. The disassemble recipe contains the quantity and price characteristics of components par a unit of measurement of the base inventory item.

To clarify, consider the following example: 

  • Base inventory item: chicken
  • Components: chicken leg quarter, chicken drumstick, chicken fillet, etc.

Inventory items As a rule, the menu items use some ingredients in their recipes. For example, a salad recipe includes potatoes, carrots, onion, sweet oil, and other ingredients. In YumaPOS, the ingredients are referred to as inventory items or stock items.

M

Modifier Modifiers allow you to customize the details of an item. For example, if you are selling a burger, you may want to give your customers the ability to choose what toppings they want on their item.  In this scenario, a topping is a modifier, and POS Terminal or Mobile application allows you to add the modifier price to the burger price.

In another scenario, you are selling products that have different pricing for sizes: for example, you have a base product of a small cup of coffee for $2.00 and the medium size for $2.50. To implement this scenario, you can also use a modifier with price of $0.50.

R

Recipe Recipe describes  a composition of menu items, inventory items or modifiers. A recipe specifies a list of ingredients and amount of each ingredient per a unit of measurement of an item or modifier.
