It shows a three-level approach: start by defining item manual “item cost” in the item details so any sales after saving log that cost of goods, then move to calculate by defining ingredient and recipe costs, and finally automate using AI invoice scanning, EDI integration, or email ingestion. The item catalog ties together items you sell and items you stock, enabling rigorous plate cost calculations over time. The message concludes that the platform provides one connected view of sales, inventory, and margins with room to grow.
