Struggling with setting this up any advice would be very welcome! Tried to search for a solution everywhere but struggling through loads of out of date info vs the new features of square.
Problem: Multiple sale items which share the same base ingredients i.e vodka and mixers, cocktails with vodka, shots of vodka. Square seems to only track item sales so the out of the box is useless.
Potential solution i want to check with the community:
.Create a non sellable stock item for each type of stock unit, i.e a keg of beer, bottle of vodka etc
.Create units on each non sellable stock item i.e pint is 0.0000065 of a keg, half pint if 0.000000007 etc etc
.Re create all of my sellable items as bundle items, and add the stock item and measurement to it, i.e vodka and coke is vodka bottle with the shot measurement plus pepsi max box with the single serve measurement
This seems to work from initial tests and will take the correct amount off the stock for vodka bottles when i sell a cocktail with it in, double vodka and coke with it in etc
Only issue is a then lose the ability to add options when selling bundles so i need to create an item for every variation i sell, so single vodka and pepsi, double vodka and pepsi, single vodka and red bull, double vodka and red bull etc etc etc etc etc etc etc
So i end up with comprehensive stock tracking but explosion of items and options on my handhelds. Search function helps overcome this but i just want to double check there is not a better or easier or official way to do this before i spend days re creating all my items and realise its wrong!
