AdminCatalog and recipes

Manage products, categories, and choices

To manage products, categories, and choices, start with catalog access plus verified prices, taxes, ingredients, yields, categories, and preparation rules. In Admin, open Stock to search, create, or edit an item, then manage categories and choices from the Menu Items workspace. Check prices, tax, variants, modifiers, recipe units, and yields before publishing changes that affect selling or stock consumption.

Before you start

Catalog access plus verified prices, taxes, ingredients, yields, categories, and preparation rules
A recipe must use valid inventory items and units before production can consume stock correctly

Create or edit a product

Search /inventory/stock before creating, or open the exact item from that list.
Enter the required price, tax, branch, selling, and kitchen fields shown, save once, and verify the stored product.

Manage categories

Open /catalog/categories and search the existing list.
Create or edit the category, save it, then assign the saved category from the product workflow.

Manage modifier groups and options

Open /catalog/modifiers and review existing groups before creating another.
Save the required and optional choices, then reopen the product, assign the group, and verify the resulting configuration.

Expected result

Saved categories and modifier groups become available to the intended product, and the product reopens with its persisted price, tax, branch, selling, and kitchen settings. A validation error does not create a partial catalog record.

Permissions

Stock and modifiers require their matching product or inventory read access; create/edit actions require write access; category writes enforce stronger backend access.

Troubleshooting

A product cannot use the expected category or modifier.

Save the category, modifier group, and options first, then reopen the exact product and branch. Confirm the choices are active and permitted before assigning them.

The catalog form fails or reopens with different values.

Correct the named price, tax, required-field, or duplicate validation and save once. Stop if product identity or branch is uncertain; report the product reference and affected fields without changing other catalog records.
