Set Ingredient Par Levels
Set minimum stock levels for ingredients and get warned when you're running low.
Par levels are the minimum quantities you want to have on hand for each ingredient. Set them in Recipe Cost Calculator, and when your inventory drops below par after a count or a production run, you'll see a warning.
This is a straightforward way to make sure you never start the week without your essentials. The par level warnings show up on your dashboard and in your inventory views so they're hard to miss.
Why this matters
Never start short.
Par levels are simple but effective. Set your minimums, and the system tells you when you're below them. It catches the things you'd otherwise find out about when you're halfway through prep and realize you're out of something critical.
