Set up your Dripos Supply Chain in three steps:

In this guide, we’ll walk through an example of creating units and ingredients for a latte recipe.

For a complete instructional video guide with our Dripos Support team, please watch here.

Create a Unit

Every ingredient will be measured with units. Dripos provides standard units of measurement that are preset and ready for use. If the unit you need is not a standard unit, you may create a custom unit!


Create an Ingredient

Ingredients make up a product’s recipe. For example, a latte will be made up of espresso, various milk types, various cup sizes, various syrups, and so forth.

These are the goods that you will track the quantity of in your supply chain system.

1

On the dashboard, click Supply Chain > Ingredients > Create ingredient

2

Complete the following fields:

Name

Espresso, Whole Milk, Vanilla, Chocolate Sauce, 16oz Cups, Bacon

Calculation Type

  • Standard (Default): Any stocking event will add/subtract from this ingredient’s stock directly.
  • Consume Sub-Recipes: When a sub-recipe is linked to the product, stock adjustments will apply both to this ingredient and to the ingredients included in the sub-recipe.
    This option will only appear if the ingredient has a sub-recipe attached. Click here to learn about sub-recipes.

Unit

How the ingredient will be measured in a recipe. i.e. milk = fluid ounces, espresso = oz, blueberry muffin = count, syrup = milliliters

Custom Units

16 oz cups = custom unit of Case - 16 oz cups

Chocolate Sauce = custom unit of Chocolate Sauce - 64oz

Default Cost (optional)

Cost of one unit of this ingredient. This cost will be used to calculate the cost of recipes, stocking events, and waste events.

i.e., $0.10 per ml of syrup, $3 per count of blueberry muffin, $0.30 per oz of espresso

If sub-recipes exist, this is not configurable and is calculated based on the sub-recipe costs and quantities.

Par (optional)

Baseline inventory quantity you want to have in stock at any given time.

This is for your own internal tracking and will not hinder supply chain usage.

Expiration Time (optional)

If added, stock added of an ingredient will expire (and therefore, decrease) after the set amount of minutes

Groups (optional)

The ingredient group that the ingredient should be added to

Learn how to create ingredient groups here. Only existing groups will appear in the selection menu.

Rules

Automate ingredient restocking

Set up automatic restocking schedules for individual ingredients—perfect for ingredients you receive or make on a regular basis.


Sub Recipes

Track ingredients composed of other ingredients by creating sub-recipes.

Do you make your syrups in-house? Are your breads made fresh daily? Use subrecipes to track ingredients used to make those ingredients attached to products for sale.

Learn how to stock sub-recipe ingredients and their corresponding ingredients properly with Production Events.


Build a Recipe

Every product in your menu has a recipe ready to built upon in Dripos Supply Chain.

When a product is sold on any Dripos platform, the stocks of ingredients linked to its recipe are automatically reduced by the amount used.

Customizable Products

Follow these steps to create a recipe for a customizable product that relies on modifier options for ordering (i.e. espresso drinks, breakfast sandwiches, etc.)


Grab & Go Products

Use supply chain to track quantity of simple inventory products such as bakery items and canned beverages.


Modifier Recipes

Attach an ingredient to a global modifier

For example, all iced drinks use one straw. Add the ingredient of one straw to the Temperature = Iced modifier.
