Production Orders

This article helps you use production orders. The main logic is: you send the production orders to your production shops to prepare the inventory items or menu items according to their recipes. Think of turning wheat into break, or milk into cheese.

The following subjects are covered:

• View the list of orders
• View and edit an order 
• Make new order
• Copy an order
• Remove orders.
