# How to Add Units of Measurement (UOM) in Resto iQ

## To add new units of measure, users must go to Inventory \> My Inventory \> Units \> New Unit

This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to add units in RestoIQ Inventory. By following these steps, users can easily create these units and manage their inventory more efficiently. In this example we will create "Trays" and "Pieces" to simulate UOMs in preparation for a conversion from how eggs are ordered vs how eggs are used in the restaurant.
