Ingredients in exact quantities
Set each ingredient in grams, milliliters, or pieces — to the precision of the real recipe.
Inventory
Recipes — link every menu item to its ingredients to the gram
Every menu item gets a full recipe with ingredients, quantities, and cost. On every ticket, the system auto-deducts ingredients from stock and updates true cost.
Why recipes matter
Turn your menu from a price list into a real cost system.
Item cost in real time
Recipe cost calculates from the latest purchase prices — you see today’s real margin, not last quarter’s.
Auto stock deduction
On every sale, the system deducts ingredients from the warehouse tied to that branch.
Recipes inside recipes
A sauce is a recipe, used inside the dish recipe — compound cost calculates itself.
Multiple sizes
Small, medium, and large coffee — each size with its own recipe and cost.
Expected waste
Add a natural-waste percentage (trim, cooking loss) per ingredient to reflect reality, not paper.
Building a recipe
One page that tells you everything about a dish
Open a dish and you see ingredients, cost, sell price, margin, and prep time. Everything is editable, and every edit recalculates cost on the spot.
- Margin comparison across the entire menu
- Alert when margin drops because an ingredient price rose
- Recipe version history to track changes over time
Tied to the cashier
Every cashier sale draws from the warehouse
When the cashier sells an item with a recipe, every ingredient is deducted automatically. You see what remains in real time, with no manual count.
- Supports cashier modifiers — remove, add, or upsize an ingredient
- A deduction log per recipe on every ticket
- Auto-86 the item the moment a critical ingredient runs out
Compound recipes
Treat in-house sauces and preps like any ingredient
Make a sauce in the kitchen from 5 ingredients? Save it as a sub-recipe. It then appears inside dish recipes as a single ingredient with an auto-calculated cost.
- Track daily production quantities of sub-recipes
- Shelf-life on perishable preps
- Production logged as a separate stock movement

FAQ
Common questions
Quick answers about recipes and how they affect stock and cost.
No. Start with your top sellers and most expensive items, then expand. Items without a recipe still sell normally — they just don’t auto-deduct stock.
The system uses weighted average cost. Each purchase updates the average, which in turn updates recipe cost.
Yes. Each branch can have its own recipe when needed, with a central default that can be overridden.
No. Old tickets keep the recipe that was active at the time of sale, so historical reports stay correct.
