How it works

Recipe Management in 3 Simple Steps

From ingredient breakdown to automated food costing and inventory sync.

1
Define Dish Ingredients

Specify exact gram, milliliter, or unit quantities of every raw ingredient required to prepare each dish.

2
Auto Costing & Margin

The system calculates exact portion cost and food cost percentage based on wholesale purchase prices.

3
POS Stock Deduction

Orders placed on POS automatically deduct mapped ingredient stocks from your raw inventory in real time.

📊 Live Recipe Cost Matrix Example (Butter Chicken)
Target Food Cost: <30%

Serving Size: 300g  ·  Selling Price: ₹450  ·  Total Portion Cost: ₹126

Recipe Breakdown: Chicken (150g) - ₹75  ·  Butter & Cream (50g) - ₹28  ·  Tomato Gravy (80g) - ₹18  ·  Spices & Herbs - ₹5
🟢 Resulting Gross Margin: 72% (₹324 profit per serving) · Updated automatically with wholesale price changes
