The Recipe Manager is where you tell reciProfity how to combine ingredients to create dishes. Based on the ingredient details you’ve entered, like cost and purchase info, reciProfity calculates the total recipe cost and suggests a sales price that aligns with your target food cost. Then. the Recipe Manager helps you build and manage recipes that reflect your actual ingredient costs and portion sizes. This ensures accurate pricing and better control over food cost targets.
Accessing and Using the Recipe Manager
Select Recipes from the Hamburger menu.
After entering recipes, the Recipe Manager displays a list that includes all recipes, their food costs, and pricing details.
In the Recipe Manager console, you can access other recipe features from the Interfaces and Tools menus.
Selecting a Recipe Type
A recipe cannot be created until a type is chosen. The type determines which fields appear in the form and how the recipe behaves across costing, production orders, grids, and search. Users must make this choice up front to avoid accidental defaults or incorrect categorization.
When you open New Recipe, the form stays hidden until you select a type.
Entering New Recipes
To enter a new recipe, click +New Recipe.
