How do I create recipe sets?

To send a new or edited list of Items, Preps, or Products to your stores, create a recipe set. These sets can be specific to a region, or a store. The selected stores or regions will have their databases updated with any new sets.

When sending a recipe set, it is very important to understand EXACTLY what is being updated and overwritten. There are some instances where what you want to update at the store level will differ, so make sure you are aware of the specification on the recipe set you are using.

Recipe Set View

When you open the page, you will be presented with a listing of all recipe sets, the date created and whether they have been successfully installed or not. If an error is listed, click on the date to open the recipe set. Here you can look to the bottom of the sheet and scroll through the stores to see which store the error occurred in.
