Adding a Product
Take control of your business and create products with sufficient profit margins; margins that allow you to grow and scale your business.
Definitions:
Product: The combination of your recipe + items + packaging
Add-On: Ingredients added on to your items (i.e. sprinkles, coating, nuts, etc)
Item: An item is a portion of your recipe. For example, one batch of cookie dough makes 10 cookies, which equals 10 items. A single recipe can have multiple items that vary in size and/or flavor.
This article will show you how to add your products and connect them to your recipes, items, and packaging to get your products' cost and profit.

Tip: If you have a lot of products (especially products that share the same recipe, item, and/or packaging), you want to make your product name as detailed as possible. For example, 25pc Mint Chocolate Truffles Case has a good naming structure that includes: the number of items, flavor, and package description.
