      Understanding the Composer Inventory Structure

      To effectively set up your inventory in Composer, it’s important to first understand the different item structures and how they function within the platform. Below, we explain the key terms: Products, Bundles, Packages, and Modifiers.

      Item Structures in Composer

      1. Products

      Products are individual items that represent a single unit.
      Examples:

      • Chocolate Doughnut
      • Plain Bagel
      • Bacon and Egg Bap

      Products form the building blocks of your inventory.

      2. Bundles

      Bundles are items made up of multiple individual products. These are designed to streamline the preparation and assembly process for chefs and packing teams.

      Examples:

      • Box of 6 Doughnuts: A bundle containing six individual doughnuts (products).
      • Chicken Box Meal Deal: A bundle containing the following individual products:
        • 200 grams of Chicken
        • Crisps
        • Drink

      Important:
      Bundles need to be imported into Composer differently from Products and require additional setup.

      3. Packages

      Packages are more complex items that consist of a combination of both bundles and products.

      Examples:

      • Christmas Hamper: A package that includes:
        • A bundle: Box of 6 Doughnuts
        • Individual products: 1 Litre Wine Bottle, 500 grams of Honey

      Important:
      Like Bundles, Packages require special setup and need to be imported into Composer differently from Products.

      4. Modifiers

      Modifiers allow you to add optional customisations to your items. These can be applied to both individual products and bundles.

      Examples with Products:

      • Product: Chocolate Doughnut
      • Modifier: Sprinkles

      Examples with Bundles:

      • Bundle: Chicken Box Meal
      • Modifier: Add Fries

      Modifiers enhance your inventory’s flexibility by offering additional choices to your customers.
