ERPNext for Restaurant Question. BOMs v Bundles

ERPNext Stock/Inventory
1

I’m looking into using ERPNext for my restaurant to initially track inventory / wastage and slowly migrate over other functions like accounting and reporting in future.

It seems people on this forum have recommended in past to handle menu recipes using product bundles rather than BOMs due to work order complexity associated with BOMs. Downside to that is you lose recipe costing the comes with BOMs.

My idea is to use BOMs and solve work order issue using n8n to pull an end of day sales reports from my Square POS and then the fire off an aggregated work order and then sales invoice for all the items sold that day. Does anyone have any thoughts on feasibility of this?

Hi @SAnderson

if you have time and eager to work with ERP in detail then BOM and work order approach can meet your demands.

On the other hand, if you are all alone and do not want to exhaust yourself then stock entry and product bundle should be your approach.
