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: Inventory items that are not yet in the stockroom. Major Group. Family Group. Inventory items of the family group. Sales Item. 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.
