Setting Up Composite Inventory
1. In the BackOffice, click on Products.
2. On the Product page, click on + Add Product.
3. Name the product & Set the product's price.
Note: You can skip step 1 - 3 if you would like to set up composite inventory on the existing product that has been added to your BackOffice. Click into the existing product & proceed to step 4.
4. Tick Track Stock Level under Inventory & Variants. Select Composite under Inventory Type and click Save.
5. In the same product page, scroll down to the bottom where you will see the Component Table; click Add Component to add your components/ingredients.

Notes:
Default Usage indicates the minimum amount needed for the product.
For example, for every 1 Regular Chicken Burger sold, 1 chicken patty, 1 cheese slice, and 2 burger buns will be deducted from the inventory.
If no component for your option appears here, you will need to add it to your BackOffice by going to Add Products.
7. Click Save to apply your changes.
