Menu Management


The Ingredients selection tab in Piranha provides you with all products available to use in recipes. This list is based on products contained in Pi's Inventory module. Within this tab there are many different features available to further manage products and recipes. This article focuses on the main feature available here - swapping ingredients. If you do not yet have access to Ingredients, contact the Pi Helpdesk and request for Manage ingredients to be added to your profile.

Getting Started

  1. Select the Piranha module from the left-hand navigation bar
  2. Select Ingredients
  3. Select the Advanced search checkbox (to the right of the search field) to display a series of pre-defined filters that can be used to refine your search
The Used in recipe(s) filter will show products In use only as a default.

Swapping Ingredients

The Swap ingredient feature is a very useful tool allowing you to bulk swap a product for all recipes it is being used in. For example, you may have a product that has been discontinued by a supplier, therefore, you need to swap the original with the new. In order to do this, the new product must be available in Pi's Inventory module first.


To do this...

  1. Use the advanced search filters and available text field to find the original product
  2. Select the arrows icon to the right of the product
  3. Within the Swap Ingredient page, use the New ingredient text field to find and select the new product (you can search by code or description)
  4. Once a product has been selected, use the New quantity and New measure fields to enter the values
  5. Click Apply when ready
If the new ingredient holds the same measurements as the original, the quantities and measurements will automatically pull through. Should these differ, you will need to manually enter the new data. Use the cross icons to the right of each recipe to remove these if you do not wish for them to be included in the swap.
