How the menu is organised

The rest of the manual explains PizzaGest screen by screen (it is what opens when you press F1). These guides work the other way round: they start from what you want to achieve and take you step by step, with an example, through the screens you need.

Before you create a product, it helps to know how PizzaGest stores the menu. There are six pieces that always fit together in the same way.

The six pieces of the menu

Piece What it is Example Where you create it
Inventory Item Any merchandise in the stockroom: what you buy and keep stock of. Mozzarella, medium dough, can of soft drink, pizza box Items → Inventory Items
Major Group The top level of the menu. It decides whether ingredients can be chosen in its items, whether they allow half and half and which VAT they carry. Pizzas, Sandwiches, Drinks Items → Major Groups
Family Group A set of items of the same major group that behave the same way: same kitchen printer, same maximum number of ingredients. Medium Pizzas, Family Pizzas Items → Family Groups
Inventory items of the family group The ingredients that can be used in that family group: those in its recipes and those the customer can order as an extra, with their price. Mushrooms at 0.60 € in Medium Pizzas Items → Family Groups, Inventory Items button
Sales Item What the customer orders and what appears on the ticket, with its code and its prices. Medium Barbecue Pizza Items → Sales Items
Recipe The ingredients an item contains and in what quantity. With it PizzaGest deducts the stock and knows what the customer can remove. Dough, tomato, mozzarella, bacon and barbecue sauce Items → Sales Items, Recipe button

Some pieces hang from others:

Major Group            Pizzas
 └─ Family Group       Medium Pizzas  ──  Inventory items of the family group (mushrooms, bacon, extra cheese…)
     └─ Sales Item     Medium Barbecue Pizza
         └─ Recipe     medium dough · tomato · mozzarella · bacon · barbecue sauce

The order matters

Each piece needs the previous one to exist. If you start from scratch, this is the order:

  1. Inventory items that are not yet in the stockroom.
  2. Major Group.
  3. Family Group.
  4. Inventory items of the family group.
  5. Sales Item.
  6. Recipe of the item.

Usually you only need part of the route: for a new pizza, the major group, the family group and almost all the ingredients already exist.

The most common mistake: putting in a recipe an ingredient that is not among the inventory items of the family group. PizzaGest does not let you save the recipe until you add it to the family group (step 4).

Which guide do I need?

I want to… Guide
Sell a type of product I did not have before: sandwiches, burgers, desserts… Adding a new product line
Add a product to a family group I already have: a new pizza Adding an item to an existing family group
Offer a new ingredient as an extra, or put it in a recipe Adding an extra ingredient
Run a promotion: 2x1, the second unit at 50%… Creating a promotion
Know how much product is really used: delivery notes, losses, wastes and inventories Keeping stock under control

Before you start

  • Everything is done from the Items menu. If an option does not appear or is disabled, your access level may not allow it: you need to sign in with a higher level.
  • On any screen, F1 opens the manual page that explains all its fields.
  • If you have online orders or integrated delivery platforms, the changes do not get there by themselves: when you finish, you have to run an Export to Web. Each guide reminds you in its last step.
