PRODUCT & INGREDIENT
Inventory control on the SAM4POS uses menu explosion to break down the PLU or menu
item sold to the customer into its component ingredients. This information is then used on
the Food Cost Report.
NOTE: Be careful not to confuse the separate and distinct inventory features of the SAM4POS •
Ingredients and Recipes use a menu-explosion type inventory system to break down the PLU
or menu item sold to the customer into its component ingredients. When PLUs or menu items are
linked to a recipe# they use this inventory program.
• Product Mix Groups can be used to implement a simplified ingredient system for tracking
only essential ingredients associated with items (i.e. cups for beverages or number of pieces
for chicken menus.) Product mix groups also report usage by time period and optional
Product Projections reporting is also available. The Product Projection report provides a
history of each item's sales by day of week. Product mix items and product mix group time
periods are also programmed set with this program.
