Please Help!!

I am starting a small bakery/creamery. In the mornings I want to sell breakfast sandwiches like bacon/sausage, egg and cheese biscuits. How do I set up my inventory so each time I sell a sandwich square inventory will remove each item on the sandwich from inventory? Say I have 15 eggs and 20 sausage patties and 30 biscuits in stock, I sell one breakfast sandwich so I want inventory to show 14 eggs, 19 sausage patties and 29 biscuits after the sale. Is that possible??

So Square doesn't have a native production item tracking, where you can assign sub-ingredients to items and track stock. The best workaround you can do is to use the new Combos beta, and make unique items for eggs, sausage patties, and biscuits. This is actually one of the use case examples in the support article below. Then you can do a combo for a breakfast sandwich and it will record your inventory usage correctly. There is still some reporting functionality missing from it because it's in beta, but it's a good solution.

I don't have any experience with menu item set-ups like this, but seems that Creekside has the best solution! Welcome to the crazy world of bakery life! 😄

Welcome to the Seller Community, @zach2520! We haven't found a way to do this easily, but it sounds like the Combos solution @CreeksideDiveLL proposed might work, especially if your breakfast menu is going to be relatively small/simple.
