Inventory: recipes, food cost, stock

Settings → Waren: create ingredients with pack purchasing ("1000 g cost €8.90", unit grams/millilitres/pieces).

Recipes with live costing

On the item (item list → "Rezept"), enter ingredient amounts per portion. The register instantly calculates food cost in euros and the ratio of the selling price — with a traffic light (green up to 30%, amber up to 40%, red beyond).

Stock is optional

Each ingredient can track stock (leave empty = don't track). Selling and placing rounds automatically deducts recipe amounts; below the threshold a "running low" chip appears. Training mode never consumes real stock; a void deliberately does not book back (the goods are usually consumed).

Stocktake, goods-in and shrinkage

Each tracked ingredient offers "Zugang" (goods received), "Schwund" (shrinkage with a mandatory reason, e.g. breakage) and "Inventur" (enter the counted stock — the difference is booked). Every movement is kept in a journal ("Verlauf") and in the audit log.

Suppliers and order proposal

Create suppliers (phone/email/notes) and assign them to ingredients. The "Bestellvorschlag" button lists every ingredient below its warning threshold, grouped by supplier and topped up in whole packs to the target stock (without a target, the rule of thumb is twice the warning threshold — stated right there). With estimated purchase cost, printable per supplier. Honest: it is a proposal to review — you order from the supplier yourself, the register sends nothing.

On reports

The X/Z report shows the calculated food cost and ratio for the shift.

Food cost in the owner dashboard

On paired registers, ingredients and recipes sync to the cloud automatically (from 0.21.0, without stock levels — those stay local). The dashboard (Livo Gastro → Auswertung) shows the period's calculated food cost with ratio and traffic light. Honestly labelled: a calculation from recipes and pack prices, not a stocktake.
