Adding Chargeable/Recipe Items as Depletion Rate

The Depletion Rates tab within an Inventory item can be used to add the items that will be depleted each time the menu item is sold. The example below shows the tortilla chips, cheese, and basket that comprise the Nachos menu item. Each time the item is purchased, the stock for the chips, cheese, and basket will be depleted by the rate established.

1. Select Inventory in the left side menu in Connect and select Items from the dropdown.
2. Select the item you wish to configure.
3. Edit or add any settings needed on the Details tab.
4. Navigate to the Depletion Rate tab and select Add.
5. Select the Inventory Item, enter the Depletion Rate, and select Save.   
6. Continue to add Depletion Rates for any additional chargeable items.
7. Once complete, Items can be verified by Printing out Stand Sheets in a test event. 

Notes: 

• The inventory item must be created before adding as a depletion rate. 
• The only unique field to consider for chargeable items is 'show price.'
• Turn on and enter the price of the POS Item it represents in the counting process on stand sheets.
• Set 'Stand Sheets' to No for the POS Item that is assigned to deplete it if you are only counting the chargeable items.
• If the Inventory Item is only a part of the recipe then no price is needed to show and counting can be turned off.
