Ingredients
Without a list of ingredients the Recipe Book may only be used to generate Recipe Totals.
A complete list of Ingredients activates Streamline’s inventory management capabilities, including Shopping Lists, Purchase Orders, Inventory, Item & Recipe Costings, Supply Chain Traceability and exports Purchase Invoices to QuickBooks, Xero and Sage Intacct.
Visit Ingredients for more information.
Allergens
Allergen information is set by Ingredient and it is carried through to any Recipe.
Ingredient Labels are generated according to the ponderance of ingredients in the recipe. Allergic ingredients are in bold, and allergies listed, together with ‘Processed in an environment that processes [other allergens]’.
Visit Allergens for more information.
