This report identifies recipes or salable items that have increased in price by the percentage you’ve defined over a set number of days. These increases can affect your food cost or margin percentage. You may need to adjust recipe or item prices or renegotiate vendor pricing.
What Triggers Price Creep
Any change to the following recipe attributes will trigger a price creep record:
- Selling Price
- Number of Servings
- Food Cost or Margin Percentage
- Yield
reciProfity creates one historical record per day if any of these values change.
Setting Creep Parameters
To adjust the creep percentage or number of days:
- Click the gear icon, select Setup, and choose Options.
By default, reciProfity uses 5% and 30 days for this report. You can modify both values.
Accessing the Price Creep Analysis Report
To open the Price Creep Analysis report:
- Go to Recipes and click the Tools button.
How the Report Works
This report shows recipes that have increased in price based on the creep percentage and time range you’ve set in Options. It provides a quick view of potential pricing issues.
Creep is calculated from the lowest price in the selected time period to the current price—a hybrid high-low analysis. The report highlights the widest margin swings from the high/low range to the current margin.
