What is the Draft POS Item Cost Calculator?
It’s a tab in WISK that shows all POS items that don’t currently have a pour cost calculated. It helps you quickly identify missing recipes, auto-match existing ones, and complete your costing workflow faster.
WISK automatically includes any sales item from your POS that doesn’t have an assigned pour cost—either because it's missing a recipe or not linked to one.
Yes. WISK attempts to auto-match POS items to recipes based on the item name. If a match is found, it links the recipe and calculates the pour cost using your latest invoice data.
If no match is found, WISK marks the item as “Missing Recipe.” You’ll need to create a new recipe and map it to the POS item to see the pour cost.
Pour cost is calculated based on the ingredients and quantities defined in your recipe, using the most recent invoice prices synced to WISK.
Yes. The tab updates dynamically as new invoices are processed, recipes are created or edited, or POS items are added. You’re always working with the latest data.
Absolutely. You can sort the list by Total Sales or Cost Impact, so you can start with the items that have the biggest effect on your margins.
Yes. WISK supports multi-venue operations, and the Draft POS tab helps you standardize and complete recipe costing across all outlets efficiently.
No. Once a recipe is linked, WISK automatically updates the pour cost based on your latest invoice prices—no manual adjustments needed.
Exporting isn’t necessary. The Draft POS Items tab is built as an interactive workspace, allowing you to manage costing, match recipes, and prioritize items—all directly within WISK in real time.
