What's included, and what's an add-on
Restodesk has a core that every restaurant gets, plus add-ons you switch on when you need them. This page is the map. If a screen in this guide doesn't appear in your sidebar, it'll be because it's an add-on that isn't on your plan yet.

How to tell what you have
Two quick checks:
- Look at your sidebar. If Inventory isn't there, Stock & Recipes isn't on your plan.
- Check Settings › Billing for the plan you're on and what it covers.
Some screens are hidden for a different reason — your role may not have permission, even though your restaurant does have the feature. Why can't I see this screen? walks through both cases.
Adding one
Add-ons are switched on against your plan rather than installed by you. Get in touch and we'll enable it — see Getting support.
