Products in Amari are the things your customers actually order — Milktea, Frappe, Pizza, Siomai. Each product can have multiple sizes (Regular, Medium, Large, Jumbo) and each size has its own price. Products can also link to recipes — a list of ingredients that get deducted from stock whenever you sell that size.
Before you start
- Your branch is set up (see "Setting up your first branch")
- You've added your ingredients and supplies first — products reference them in recipes
- You know your menu prices per size
Understand the structure first
Before you start clicking, it helps to understand how products are organized:
- A Product Group is the menu item as customers see it — "Matcha Milktea", "Chocolate Frappe", "Pizza".
- A Variant (or size) is a specific option within the group — Regular, Medium, Large, Jumbo, Buy 1 Take 1. Each variant has its own price and recipe.
- A Recipe is the list of ingredients consumed when you sell one of this variant — e.g. "1 Medium Cup 16oz + 15g Matcha Powder + 100ml Full Cream Milk".
Customer taps "Matcha Milktea" (the group) → sees the sizes (the variants) → picks "Medium" → the recipe deducts the ingredients from stock.
How to add a product
Go to Store → Products
From the sidebar, tap Store. You'll land on Products by default. You'll see any existing product groups in a grid.
Tap + New Product
A full-screen form opens. Start filling in the basics:
- Name — the product group name (e.g. "Matcha Milktea")
- Category — pick from Milktea, Coffee, Frappe, Food, Pastries, etc., or type a new one. Categories are the tabs customers see at the top of the POS screen.
- Image — upload a photo of the finished drink (optional but recommended — makes the POS prettier and helps customers on QR ordering)
Add variants (sizes)
Scroll down to the Variants section and tap + Add Variant for each size. For a typical milktea:
- Regular (12oz) — ₱70.00
- Medium (16oz) — ₱90.00
- Large (22oz) — ₱110.00
- Buy 1 Take 1 — ₱138.00
Each variant has its own name, price, and (optionally) its own image and recipe.
Build the recipe for each variant
For each variant, tap Edit Recipe. Pick the ingredients and specify the quantity used per sale. Example for a Medium Matcha Milktea:
- Medium Cup 16oz — 1 pc
- Matcha Powder — 15g
- Full Cream Milk 1L — 100ml
- Fructose 25kg — 20g
- Ice — 150g
- Boba Straw (Duo Brew) — 1 pc
- Sealing Film (Duo Brew) — 1 pc
Copy recipes between sizes
After you build the Regular recipe, you can copy it to Medium/Large and just bump the quantities. Saves a lot of clicking. Amari will warn you if a recipe references an ingredient you haven't created yet.
(Optional) Add flavors and add-ons
If the product has flavors (Matcha, Strawberry, Taro, etc.), create a Product Group of type Add-On with each flavor as a variant, then link it to this product. Same for add-ons like extra boba, nata, whipped cream.
This is covered in detail in the "Setting up modifiers, flavors, add-ons" article.
Save the product
Tap Save at the bottom. The product immediately appears on the POS screen and on your QR ordering menu. Try it — go to the POS page, tap the product, and see the variants and flavors render.
Tips for building a menu fast
Duo Brew starter menu
If you're running a Duo Brew franchise, we have a one-click import that adds the complete Duo Brew menu (100+ products with recipes, sizes, and ingredient links) to your branch. Go to Store → Products, tap the Import button, and pick "Duo Brew Menu". Saves hours of typing.
Copying between branches
If you have multiple branches with the same menu, add products to one branch first, then use the "Copy from branch" feature on the other branches to clone the entire product catalog. Prices and recipes come along for the ride.
Hiding vs deleting
If you stop selling a product but have historical sales data tied to it, hide it instead of deleting. Hidden products disappear from the POS and QR ordering menu but stay in your reports. Deleting removes the product permanently and can break historical records.
