- Regular, or ready-to-serve items: These are prepared, complete meals, dishes or menu items that are intended for sale 'as is'. For example, this can be coke, fountain drink, a ready portion of salad and so on.
- Recipe, or made-to-order items: These are items that customers can customize according to their preferences. For example, this can be a pizza slice with an additional portion of cheese, a cheeseburger with specific sides and so on.
At this step, you need to set up regular items in the CStoreOffice® Price Book. Regular items can be used for two purposes in QwickServe:
- As items offered in the menu: You need to add to the Price Book all ready-to-serve items that you are planning to offer to customers.
- As bulk items: Bulk items are items that you match to ingredients used for recipe items. Setting up bulk items helps make sure that the recipe items cost is calculated accurately. For example, you can add ham, cheese and butter as bulk items.
