This system enhances inventory control, prevents discrepancies, and simplifies ingredient management for merchants operating in a multi-store setup.
Key Benefits:
Consistent Ingredient Usage – All stores within a chain use the same ingredient types and measurements, ensuring uniformity across locations.
Centralized Ingredient Database – Ingredients are stored in a shared database, accessible by all stores while maintaining individual stock levels.
Accurate Inventory Deductions – When a product containing ingredients is sold, the system correctly deducts the ingredients from the selling store’s inventory instead of the originating store, preventing stock inconsistencies.

How Ingredient Management Works in Chain Store
When Chain Shop and Ingredient Management is ON, all stores in the chain share products, ingredients, and ingredient assignment settings. However, ingredient quantities remain independent for each store.
Tips:
✔ Select a Primary Store (e.g., Store A) to create all products and ingredients.
✔ Changes made in the Primary Store will automatically sync across all other stores.
✔ Each store maintains an independent ingredient stock, ensuring accurate inventory tracking.
Feature Action | Store A (Primary Store) | Store B | Store C |
Product Creation | Created here manually | Auto-synced from Store A | Auto-synced from Store A |
Ingredient Creation | Created here manually | Auto-synced from Store A | Auto-synced from Store A |
Assign Ingredients & Set Deduction Ratio | Assigned here manually | Auto-synced from Store A | Auto-synced from Store A |
Ingredient Quantity | Managed independently | Managed independently | Managed independently |
How Product & Ingredient Syncing Works
Any product or ingredient created in Store A (Primary) is automatically available in Store B and Store C.
If a product is created in Store B or Store C, it will also sync across all stores in the chain.
Ingredient Deduction & Tracking
When a product is sold at a store, the ingredients are deducted only from that specific store’s inventory.
Ingredient quantity is not shared across stores to ensure accurate tracking per location.
Changes to Product Assignments & Ingredient Ratios
Any modifications to product assignments or deduction ratios in one store will automatically update across all stores.
