How To Export Catering Recipes Using PLU Matching

  • Updated

Available as an add-on component in: Agile | Aware | Analyzer | Multi-Outlet

 

The Catering Export feature allows you to transfer recipe data between platforms efficiently and accurately. It uses a unique PLU (Price Look-Up) code to match recipes, eliminating the need to align recipe names manually. Once imported into your catering software, your projected margins will reflect current recipe costs.

reciProfity exports the following data:

  • Portion unit
  • Portion cost
  • Selling price

For Caterease, data is exported directly. For other catering platforms, reciProfity uses a fixed layout known as the reciProfity default.

 

The Catering Export is an add-on component. Please visit the reciProfity pricing page for the latest pricing information.

Follow these directions to activate the Catering Export feature.

Please note: The export runs in the background. Depending on file size, it may take a few seconds before the Save File window appears.
