Overview: As a restaurant manager, you can create an ingredient family of food or non-food ingredients to compare prices, filter information and create Smart Selection rules. This guide will help you create your families.
Start from: The Easilys menu.
By default, there are three generic ingredient families on Easilys: Various (“Divers”, attached to the Kg production unit), Liquid (“Liquides” attached to the Litre production unit) and Pieces (“Pièces” attached to the Pieces production unit).
These three families may be sufficient to manage your generic ingredients, but you can also create others, mainly to optimise price comparisons in orders, refine ingredient searches via the Ingredient Families filter found on certain Easilys screens, and which users can use to create Smart Selection rules. You can use these to create Smart Selection rules.
