Ingredients and Recipes

About 1 min

Use the Ingredient and Recipe components to build a counting system for the daily supply consumptions. For example, Huevos Rancheros uses one egg, 1/2 cup of black beans, and Omelets use two eggs and 2 tbsp butter. When a business has sold 20 Huevos Rancheros and 35 Omelets, the system counts consumption of 90 eggs, 10 cups of black beans, and 70 tbsp butter. This system provides an estimate of the daily supply a business should order. It also provides a good cross-check against the actual supply usage.
