⚖️ Who Owes / Who’s Ahead

⚡ Needs Restock

🛒 Take Items

Taking food increases what your family should put back (as food or cash).

📦 Add Food to Inventory

Restock the shelves. Enter what you paid — that $ settles your balance the same as cash.

This is the money side of the restock. Same effect on balance as Cash In.

💵 Cash In (no food)

Cash is treated like inventory value. Paying cash settles your balance the same way as bringing $ worth of food.

How this works

Balance = (food costs paid + cash in) − (value of food taken).

Behind $20? Either bring ~$20 of groceries or put $20 cash in. Same result on the books.
