Storage places

A storage place is a real room in your building. Walk-in cold, dry store, bar fridge, bakery freezer, wine cellar, cleaning cupboard. Every ingredient row points at one.

The rule

A category says what kind of thing it is. A storage place says where to find it. Keep the two apart.

How it works

1. Open Settings → Storage locations. Each line is one room, with its emoji, its name, its temperature note and how many rows live there.
2. Press + Add location. Give it an emoji, a name and, if it helps, a temperature note like 2–4°C and a short description.
3. Save. The room shows in the ingredient list filters at once, and in the storage box on every row.
4. Open an ingredient and pick its room in the Storage box.
5. Filter the ingredient list by room to see only what is kept there.

Good to know

• Rooms do not sit inside other rooms. Fridge shelf 3 is too small to be useful. Put that in the row’s own Notes.
• Five to eight rooms is normal. Thirty means someone is using rooms as categories.
• The temperature note is for people to read. It also helps the AI explain why something went bad.
• A room with rows in it cannot be deleted. Move the rows first.
