Linked materials
Equipment and packaging, tied to every product
Track the chafing dishes, cutlery, crates, or napkins each dish requires
Your lamb shoulder needs a roasting tray. Your canapés travel in stacking crates. Your buffet package requires four chafing dishes. Link materials to products so you never forget what to pack.
- Attach equipment, packaging, or other materials directly to any product
- Sub-recipes contribute their own linked materials, automatically visible in the parent product
- Material requirements appear in order equipment lists and kitchen prep views
- Edit linked materials at the product level or per order when exceptions arise
Define exactly what leaves the kitchen with each product. Specify equipment, packaging, or other non-food materials required to produce or deliver a dish, package, or beverage. When you add the product to an order, Catermonkey automatically accounts for the linked materials, no separate line items, no manual tallies.
Sub-recipes inherit their own material requirements. A product that calls for a sub-recipe will pull in that sub-recipe's linked materials, surfacing everything you need in one consolidated view. You see the full picture without hunting through nested recipes.
Orders reflect reality. Linked materials flow into order-level equipment lists and preparation overviews, so your delivery and kitchen staff know exactly what to load and return. You maintain one source of truth per product; every order using that product stays current.
