How to Add Recipes to a Product
To add a recipe to a product, follow these steps:
1. Log in to the Butler Panel
Sign in to the Butler Panel using your account credentials. If you encounter any difficulties, refer to the login guide available here.
2. Access the Catalogue
Open the options menu on the left side of the screen. Then, go to the tab labeled “Catalogue.”
3. Select Category
On the screen that appears, you will see the existing product categories. Locate and click on the category where you want to add the new product.
4. Select Product
Locate the product and click on the third icon 
below its name to open the recipe settings.
5. Add Condition to the Recipe
In the window that appears, click the “+” button at the top of the box, next to the phrase Recipe “Product”, to display a new options box that will be added to the recipe:
Action: In the “Action” field, select what you want the inventory to do with this option. Choose whether the ingredient quantity should decrease (“Decrease Stock”) or increase (“Increase Stock”) when this product is ordered.
Inventory Item: In the “Inventory Item” field, select the ingredient from your inventory that will be adjusted.
(If you haven’t added any products to your inventory yet, see how to do it by clicking here.)Option Value Condition: If the product has options (e.g., sizes, add-ons), select which option value this condition will apply to.
Quantity: Set the amount of the ingredient that will be deducted from or added to the inventory when the condition is met.
Add: Click the “Add” button to save the condition to the product’s recipe.
6. Add Multiple Conditions
You can add multiple conditions- different inventory increase/decrease values for a single product, so that all possible options are covered and the inventory is updated correctly. For example:
Let’s say we are editing the recipe of a coffee. We’ve set our first condition so that for the value “Type of Sugar: White”, the default quantity deducted from the ingredient inventory item “White Sugar” is 0g. We do this so that we can then specify the exact grams for each option value we care about.
In this case, for the “Sugar” option, we set –6g for “Sugar: Medium”, –10g for “Sugar: Sweet”, and so on.
More concisely:
Condition 1:
Action: Decrease
Inventory Item: White Sugar
Option Value Condition: Sugar: Medium
Quantity: 6 g
Condition 2:
Action: Decrease
Inventory Item: White Sugar
Option Value Condition: Sugar: Sweet
Quantity: 10 g
And so on for the remaining sugar options.
Below, let’s look at a complete recipe for a coffee product that could be part of your catalogue.
