Since Saleable Items are ready to go - your labor cost on these items is low, and your food cost percentage on these items may be higher than other items. That is fine - selling these items is all profit after the purchase cost.
Saleable Inventory Items are ready for sale when they come in your door. Examples include single serving bottled beverages, wrapped candy bars, wrapped snacks or single serving items. When you check the Saleable box, the Sales setup button becomes active, allowing you to setup the item for immediate sale, without creating a recipe.
