Why list ingredients?
Listing ingredients on each product unlocks two important features. First, it lets customers remove ingredients they do not want — for example, taking pickles off a burger. Second, it makes allergen and dietary handling more reliable, since the system can match ingredients to a customer's allergen profile.
Auto-detected ingredients
When you write a product description, the system suggests ingredients based on the words you use. If your description says 'Beef patty, lettuce, tomato, cheddar, brioche bun', those ingredients are recognised automatically and offered as removable options. Review and accept the ones you want.
Adding ingredients manually

Tips
Keep ingredient names consistent across products. 'Cheddar' and 'cheddar cheese' are treated as different items.
Only mark ingredients as removable if the kitchen can genuinely leave them out.
Review ingredients whenever you change a recipe so the menu stays accurate.
