The menu of the establishment is formed from dishes. Jowi allows you not only keep an accurate accounting of the ingredients and half-finished products from which the dishes are prepared, but also calculate their cost.

When selling a dish, Jowi will “separate” it into ingredients and write it off from the warehouse to which the category of dish belongs. Moreover, the quantity of ingredients written off is determined by the calculation of the dish.
