In brief

The Recipes screen links each product you sell to its ingredients. By describing what a dish contains, you automatically get its food cost and you let the stock be deducted with every sale.

Who / when

For the manager and the chef. Fill it in when setting up a new product, then keep it up to date whenever a recipe changes or an ingredient cost evolves.

How to get there

Kitchen & Recipes → Recipes

Prerequisites

🔑 View stock (read-only) · Manage recipes (creating and editing recipes)

Screen tour

The screen is organized into four tabs:

• Products: select a category then a product to display (or create) its recipe. As long as no recipe is defined, the screen shows "No recipe defined".

• Options & supplements: the recipes attached to options and supplements (for example an extra cheese) and their impact on stock.

• Coverage: a progress overview of your recipes, with tracked / validated / drafts / missing dots and a table of products to fix.

• Migration tools: tools to analyze then apply an automatic recipe migration.

In the Products tab, once the recipe is open, each line shows: the ingredient, the linked menu ingredient, the quantity, the unit, the line cost and its status. The product's food cost % is calculated at the bottom, and a button lets you save the recipe.

Step-by-step procedures

Create a product's recipe

1. In the Products tab, choose the category then the product.

2. Add one line per ingredient via the recipe line dialog.

3. Check the displayed food cost %.

4. Save the recipe.

Recipe line dialog

For each line, fill in:

• Ingredient (required);

• Linked menu ingredient (where applicable);

• the Affects stock toggle (does the line deduct stock at sale time?);

• Quantity;

• Unit.

Recipe of an option or a supplement

In the Options & supplements tab, the option recipe dialog lets you define its impact on stock (to validate · consumes · does not consume) as well as its ingredient lines.

Messages & edge cases

• No recipe defined: the selected product has no recipe yet; add its lines to get started.

• The Coverage tab lists missing products or ones to fix: handle them to make the stock deduction and food cost reliable.

Tips

• The food cost % depends directly on the ingredients' cost per unit: keep it up to date in Ingredients.

• Use the Coverage tab as a checklist to reach 100% of validated recipes.
