Clover Sport tracks inventory counts by associating a Recipe with a Menu Item. Read this guide to understand the connection between Stock Items and Recipes to Menu Items so that you can begin to track inventory at each of your Locations.
Quick Overview
In order to track Inventory, you will need to create Stock Items and Recipes for your items.
Recipes are collections of one or more Stock Items. A Menu Item can only be attached to a Recipe.
- Note: Every Menu Item, even those that are represented by just one Stock Item, must have a Recipe built and attached in order to track it in Inventory. For example, a Bottle of Coke (Menu Item) needs a Recipe that holds the Stock Item, Coke Bottle 20oz.

3. Attach the Recipe to the Menu Item. Click the Item where you want to attach a Recipe. Under the Inventory and Tracking section, you can search for any Recipes that exist by typing in the Recipe text box.
4. Navigate to the Inventory Status page to check the current counts of your Stock Item.
- Note: If you haven't made any Purchase Orders and Transfers from the Warehouse into your Locations, your current counts will be 0.
