# How to Add a Recipe to a Product

Before creating a recipe, make sure you've added all of your ingredients to your inventory. Recipes connect your products to their ingredients, allowing to automatically deduct inventory whenever a product is sold.

If you haven't added your ingredients yet, return to **How to Manage Inventory** first.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Products section">
    In the [Munchi Dashboard](https://dashboard.gomunchi.com), navigate to the **Products** section from the left sidebar to see your full product list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit a product">
    Find the product you want to add an option to and click **Edit** (from the three dots on the left side) to open it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Recipe tab">
    In the product editor, select the **Recipe** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add an ingredient">
    Click **+ Add Ingredient**.

    You'll see all of the ingredients you've added to your inventory.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the ingredients">
    Choose the ingredient used in the product.

    Enter the quantity used for one unit of the product, then click **Save**.

    Repeat this step until you've added all of the ingredients for the product.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Inventory updates automatically">
    Once the recipe has been saved, the ingredients will appear in the recipe list.

    Every time this product is sold, the specified quantities of each ingredient will be automatically deducted from your inventory.
