Fixings are condiments, toppings, or accompaniments that are served alongside a menu item but are not counted as ingredients in the recipe's nutritional or production calculation.
Recipe Fixings
A recipe fixing is tied to a specific recipe. It is added to the menu automatically when that recipe is on the menu.
Use recipe fixings for condiments or toppings that only make sense with a particular dish. Examples:
Taco sauce served with a taco recipe
Ranch dressing served with a chicken strips recipe
Croutons served with a Caesar salad recipe
Because the fixing is linked to the recipe, it will only show up on production records on days when that recipe is scheduled.
How to create A Fixing Recipe
Create a recipe and specify serving size by grade group. For different serving sizes for a grade group, multiple recipes need to be created.

These recipes can also be used as fixings and condiments not tied to a specific recipe.
Add them directly to the Condiments category on the menu plans for options that are always available and not specific to any one item. Examples:
Ketchup packets available at every lunch
Salt and pepper packets
Hot sauce available daily at a high school
