Add Recipe Groups

Recipe Groups are used to organize recipes into categories (for example, appetizers, soups, salads, entrees, side orders, and cocktails).

When the Recipe Type is set to Production Recipe, you must assign a Recipe Group because production recipes require linked Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and asset accounts.

When the Recipe Type is set to Menu Item Recipe, you must assign a Recipe Group because menu item recipes require linked income accounts.

1. On the Dashboard page, select Recipe, and then click Recipe List.
2. Click the New Recipe button.
3. Click the Add button adjacent to the Recipe Group drop-down list.
4. In the Add Recipe Group dialog, enter the following information:
