Food Cost Configuration – Configure Inventory – Status Tab

Objective

In order for QSROnline to drive the most current pricing for your count sheets and recipes, Vendor Items must be linked to an Inventory Item. QSROnline calls this process “mapping”. Vendor/Inventory Item mapping is essential in tracking your food cost. If using our Accounting Service, you will also want to ensure Accounting Codes are valid when linked to Vendor Items.

 

To access the Status Tab:

  • Click Menu > Food Cost > Food Cost Configuration > Configure Inventory

Click to Zoom

  • Select the Status tab.
