Square runs the front of house. Opsi takes what sells and turns it into food cost, purchasing, and inventory you can act on, kept current automatically.
Why operators turn this on
Without the connection, someone exports Square sales and types them into a spreadsheet. With it, opsi already knows what sold and what it cost to make, item by item, before the week gets away from you.
Menus linked to recipe costs
Map imported menu items to recipes with ingredient quantities and yields to understand the cost behind each dish.
Costs that keep up
When an ingredient price moves, every plate that uses it recosts itself.
Read-only, no surprises
Opsi connects with read-only access; nothing is ever written back.
What moves between the two
| Data | Direction | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Catalog items, variations & modifiers | Square → opsi | Link imported menu items to opsi recipes through Menu Mapping |
| Item-level sales (orders) | Square → opsi | Per closed business day; drive food cost and inventory |
| Location | Square → opsi | You pick one location to scope the sync |
| Recipe cost per portion | Not synced | Lives in opsi reporting; nothing writes back to Square |
Opsi reads your Square catalog and sales for the location you pick. Read-only, nothing is written back. Sales land per closed business day, not in real time.
