Entering Waste in xtra chef

SFosstaps704 — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 17:38:01 GMT

When I am entering waste in xtrachef it does not give the option for a full receipe- only the prep receipe . If a server drops a plate then this is the receipe from a menu item. Is there a way to do this that I am not seeing or can we implement the option of tracking waste by recipie as well ?

Also - as far as I can see with the new waste management in the toast platform- there is no way to track waste on the back end for managers . My kitchen staff have a spread sheet where they write down the waste and then hand it to me at the end of the week . I want to be able to add that information into the system - just like we have to manage the menu from the back end and not pos. I think it is a great feature for the servers to have if there is a complaint or what not, but food waste happens in the kitchen too. Any recommendations ?

Thank you !

Good morning - I do .

Is there a part in the food waste reduciton article that I am missing on how to enter food waste on the back end of the system and not on the pos for toast?

Hey @SFosstaps704, my team confirmed you can only log waste for things on inventory count lists, which can only be invoiced items, products, or prep recipes, not recipes.
