Feature Overview: POS Item Map

 
For one-way POS integrations (sales pulled into Yellow Dog), mapping recipes links POS items to Yellow Dog recipes. This ensures inventory is depleted correctly and sales reports are accurate.

POS Item Map

  • Filters help you focus on items that still need setup.

    • Hide items with COGS accounts assigned or recipes mapped to reduce clutter.

  • The POS Item Map shows:

    • Last sold date

    • Most recent retail price

    • Associated recipe cost

Recipes

  • You can map recipes in two ways:

    • From the Recipe Editor on the Yield / Used By tab

    • Directly in the POS Item Map

  • For simple one-to-one items (for example, a bottled beer), you can map the ingredient directly in the POS Item Map.

    • Yellow Dog automatically creates a matching recipe with the same name as the POS item.

  • A single recipe can be mapped to multiple POS items.

    • Example: A single “Add Cheddar” recipe can be mapped to multiple POS buttons.

  • POS behavior varies:

    • Some POS systems send item data before an item is sold.

    • Others send item data only after the first sale. 

    • Review the Yellow Dog Helpsite for detail on your point of sale. 

COGS accounts

  • Assign COGS accounts to POS items so revenue posts correctly.

  • This step is required for accurate food cost reporting.

  • You can assign COGS accounts in bulk by selecting multiple items and choosing Set COGS for X POS Items.

  

Create, map, and maintain recipes on an ongoing basis. This keeps inventory on-hand quantities and costs accurate and ensures a smooth inventory process.
