Recipe Management
A recipe contains the following details – Recipe Name, Unlimited Number of Keywords, Remarks, Category, Flexible Yield, Units (servings, portions, liters, kg, pieces), Mark-up factor (constant, gross profit, or food cost percentage), Procedures, Date of Last Update, Tax Rate, Imposed Price, Recipe Source, HACCP and other Supplementary Information.
You can easily search for recipes using keywords and other filters. Recipes can also be used as sub-recipes in other recipes.

Recipe Costing
Say goodbye to manually calculating food costs.
You can easily resize the recipe (changing the yield quantity) and our software application automatically re-computes the total cost of preparation. In addition, whenever an ingredient is added or removed from a recipe, the recipe costs are automatically recalculated.
What’s more, you can view the automatic suggested selling price based on the targeted food cost or your predefined profit margin.

This module enables you to organize your menus ahead of time for any given date or occasion, plan for your daily specials, share your menus with others, determine the total cost of your menus, and generate shopping lists with all the ingredients from the Menu Plan for easier purchasing.
