Why it's important

• You purchase or make a large item, a loaf of a loaf of bread, a whole cake or pie. But you sell it by the slice.
• You purchase whole fruit but sell it by the slice.
• Anything that you purchase whole or create a prep recipe and use slices of in a recipe and want to price.

How to do it

Conversion in a Prep Recipe:

Here is an example in a Prep recipe for a tray of Blondies. We make 1 large tray and then cut it into 50 blondies.

Prep recipes have a Conversion section.

1. Type in There are 50 ea Per 1 Tray. Now we are pricing the blondies by the ea.
2. Create a Serving recipe for Blondies with the unit being 1 ea.
3. If you pre-bag them you can enter however many Blondies you put into a bag, plus the bag, plus any label and tie!

 Conversion in an Ingredient:

Let's use a loaf of bread as an example. You purchase loaves of French bread 15.5 oz, and you want to convert them to slices to price in a serving recipe.

1. You can enter it as either loaf or 15.5 oz in the Pack Size field:
2. In the conversion section you can enter it either way (Per 1 loaf OR Per 15.5 oz or ). It just has to match the Pack Size.

Now when you use it in a recipe you can use and price it as a 1 slice ingredient:

You can use the same type of entry for fruit, such as a whole pineapple cut into slices for use in a drink etc.
