Recipe Management Software

Spend more time testing out new recipes and less time counting ingredient levels. Thrive Inventory takes care of deducting and crediting the proper quantities for all your dishes.

Create A Recipe Your Customers Will Love

Now your morning crew can come in, focus on the prep work, and deduct ingredient levels with the click of a button. Thrive Inventory recipes make it easy to take a group of ingredients and turn it into a final component or part of your dish. 

Real-Time Costs

Costs and ingredient levels are automatically calculated at the time of creation in your kitchen, instead of at the time of sale.

Track Every Ingredient

Thrive Inventory supports complex menus, tracking a made-from-scratch component from the kitchen to the plate.

Multi-Location

Simplify managing component levels for your dishes and easily run internal transfers needed to fully stock all locations.

Who We Partner With

Simplify Ingredient Level Tracking

Create, prepare, and cook recipes that keep your customers coming back for more, such as scratch-made blueberry muffins. Linked quantities mean accurate ingredient level tracking so you never have to guess when to reorder. Just create the recipe and Thrive Inventory will deduct all its ingredients. 

Templates

Build repeatable recipe templates that contain all the ingredients for a specific component or product, like blueberry muffins. When you run the template, the correct quantities are deducted from the ingredient list (flour, sugar, blueberries) and your product inventory (the blueberry muffins) will increase corresponding to your batch size.

Assembly Costs

Track additional costs that come with each new batch your team produces, whether that’s labor or new packaging, such as a box per dozen muffins. This will be added to the unit lot cost of your end component so you can price your dishes for how much they’re actually worth.

Expiration Date Tracking

Manage perishable dish components or finished products, like your batch of blueberry muffins. Expiration dates are tracked on a lot-by-lot basis so you know exactly which batch of muffins to sell first.

Inventory History

Always know where your ingredients are allocated, such as how much flour was used in your blueberry muffins and how much was used in your pizza dough. Thrive's inventory history provides a closer look at ingredient additions and deductions for a specific product.

FAQs

How does Thrive Inventory handle real-time stock deductions for Recipe products sold across multiple sales channels?’

When a Recipe Assembly is run, inventory for individual ingredients will be deducted and the final product inventory will be added at the time of creation. These stock counts will be reflected in your sales channels (Clover, Square, Shopify, BigCommerce, or WooCommerce) within 2-3 minutes on average.

 

To deduct component inventory levels at the time of sale, check out our Bundle feature.

Can Thrive Inventory handle partial Recipe Assemblies if not all ingredients are available at the start of production?

Yes. If you do not have sufficient quantities to complete the run, you will see a pop-up to confirm the action. Once a quantity goes below zero and the current lot is depleted, Thrive Inventory will use the Default Cost associated with the input product to calculate the output cost.

Can templates be reused, duplicated, or edited in bulk for similar production runs?

Yes. Build Templates to input your Recipe product inventory. Included in Templates are the following fields:

 

1. Template name

2. Template description

3. Tags (for easy searching)

4. Output expiration (optional for perishable goods)

5. Notes

 

You will use a Template each time you start a new Assembly, eliminating duplicate work. Here you have additional fields you can fill out:

 

1. Assembly run name

2. Batch number

3. Run by date

4. PO number

5. Notes

How easy is it to create and edit Bill of Materials Assemblies with Thrive Inventory?

Setting up your Assembly Templates does take some upfront work and it is recommended that you do it during your free 30-day trial. While it takes some time, the process is quite simple. You’ll assign individual products or variants in your catalog to the Template and determine how much to deduct each time the Assembly is run.

 

To take Assembly creation off your team’s plate, talk to Thrive’s Professional Service team and let us take care of it for you.

How does Thrive Inventory calculate output costs?

The Assembly cost is any additional costs you want associated with the production and will be added to the unit lot cost of input products consumed in the Assembly. When input products are deducted, the lot cost is pulled according to the “first in, first out” settings.

 

For example, if the total lot cost of the input products is $4.79 and you have an Assembly cost of $1, the total lot cost for the new product would be $5.79.

Is there an audit log or inventory history for all Assembly actions that can be reviewed?

Yes. For a closer look at Assembly additions (to the output product) or deductions (from input products), take a closer look at the Inventory History for that specific product.

 

When an Assembly is run, the products will show “Deducted as Assembly component.” The outcome will show “Added as assembly outcome.”

Are there user permissions to restrict who can create, edit, or approve Recipe Assemblies?

Yes. To access Assemblies, you’ll need the “Assemblies permission” enabled for your account by a manager.
