Overview
Consistent POS-item management keeps your ingredient mappings accurate, cost calculations reliable, and variance reporting actionable. These tips will help you streamline your workflow and avoid common pitfalls.
1. Keep Mappings Current
Assign your latest sales to the correct recipes if new items appear in your POS, create matching recipes right away. Once mapped, Nory will automatically backfill sales data up to seven days prior to the assignment date.
2. Prioritise High Value Items
Focus first on mapping POS items that drive the most revenue. Ensuring these high-sales items are correctly linked preserves the accuracy of your gross profit calculations.
3. Leverage Bulk Edit for Recipe Updates
When ingredient quantities or costs change across multiple menu items, use the bulk-edit feature in the Ingredients modal. Search by item name, select the relevant items, and apply your updates in one batch.
4. Archive Retired or Seasonal Items
Clean up your POS-item list by archiving products that are out of season or no longer offered. This keeps your workspace uncluttered and prevents obsolete items from affecting your variance reports.
5. Dismiss Kitchen Instructions and Modifiers
Exclude non-inventory items like cooking instructions or special modifiers from your POS-item list. For example, if a “Burger – No Cheese” modifier appears, click Remove so that cheese usage isn’t mistakenly deducted from your inventory.
6. Remove Modifiers
Exclude modifier entries so that non-used ingredients aren’t deducted from inventory.
Example: For a “Burger - No Cheese” modifier, click Remove on the cheese line this prevents cheese usage from being recorded for that sale.
