Does selling an item really decrement its ingredients?

Yes — at the moment the sale is paid, the item's recipe explodes into ingredient consumption in the same transaction, so beans, milk, cups (etc.) come off on-hand immediately.

What about oat milk / substitutions?

Modifier overrides swap the consumed ingredient at sale time, so a substitution moves the correct stock.

Do refunds put ingredients back?

Yes — a refund restocks the exact ingredient quantities, rounded proportionally, and never restocks more than was sold.

What if an item has no recipe?

Then it just decrements itself, like normal stock. Recipes are for made-to-order items; shelf goods don't need one.

Inventory

Sell a latte, watch the beans, milk and cup come off stock

Tie an item to its real ingredients and RetailPOS decrements each one the moment you ring the sale— not the finished drink, the beans, milk and cup that went into it. That's how you get true food cost instead of a guess.

What most POS miss

A typical POS decrements the thing you sold — “1 latte.” But you don't buy lattes, you buy beans, milk and cups. Without exploding the recipe, your stock and your margins are fiction.

RetailPOS lets each item carry a recipe: a list of (ingredient, quantity) lines. Sell the item and it explodes into ingredient consumption inside the same transaction that records the sale, so on-hand for beans, milk and cups drops in real time.

Modifiers and combos deplete correctly

Modifiers override ingredients. Oat milk instead of dairy? The recipe resolver swaps the consumed ingredient at sale time, so the right stock moves.

Combos explode too.A meal deal adds each component as its own line, so every component's recipe and stock deplete normally — the combo discount rides on top without hiding the consumption.

Refunds restock. Reverse a sale and the exact ingredient quantities go back, rounded proportionally — never more than was taken.

Ships ready, not blank

The coffee and bakery starter kitsarrive with recipes already built — 15 drinks with recipes in the coffee pack, every item in the bakery pack. You're ringing recipe-aware sales in minutes, not modelling a bill of materials from scratch. Items that aren't recipes (a bag of beans on the shelf) just stock directly.
