What shows in the ingredient list

The ingredient list does not show every row in your account. It shows the ones that are ready to be used.

The rule

A row shows when something real gives it a cost: a supplier product, a recipe that makes it, or a split from another ingredient. A row with none of those is not finished yet.

How it works

  1. You approve a product from a supplier. The row is made for you, with a cost, and it shows at once.
  2. You save a recipe and mark it batched. The prep row it makes shows at once.
  3. You set a split rule on an ingredient. The children of that split show at once.
  4. A row you typed by hand with nothing joined to it stays hidden until you do one of the three above.

Good to know

  • Hidden is not deleted. The row is there and it comes back the moment you join it to something.
  • Dishes cooked to order never show. A carbonara is made when a guest orders it, so there is no row for it. Its recipe still gives it a cost.
  • A prep that is cooked to order is hidden the same way. A prep you make in a batch is not.
  • If a row you expected is missing, open Suppliers and check the product was approved.
