A variety case should be compared using its actual recipe counts and sizes. If some units will not be used, keep that limitation visible rather than pricing the entire case as equally useful.
What to check
| Check | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Inventory | List each recipe and count. |
| Use | Mark products consistent with the established plan. |
| Cost | Compare with buying the needed assortment separately. |
