In the recipe editing page, under Advanced, use the Shelf Life field to automatically set expiration dates for leftover meals. E.g., 1 day for salad, 3 days for sandwiches.

Step 1:

Enter the amount of saved meals in the Leftover column. This amount will be deducted from the total served amount.

Step 2: Click on the Submit button.

Step 3: A notification will appear, allowing you to edit the expiry date of the leftovers.

Step 1: Click on On Hand in the weekly dashboard header.

Step 2: This will pull up your On Hand Basket, where you can view all leftover recipes as well as standard inventory that are available to use on upcoming PRs.

Step 3: Drag the leftover recipe to the desired PR, and forecast it like you would forecast any other offering on the PR. Gaia will block you from adding the recipe on days that are past the expiry date. Gaia will warn you if you forecast more that the remaining amount.
