Recipe Management

The Problem
Accurate recipe costing depends on reliable data. Seasonal menus, new suppliers and ingredient changes all hugely affect margins. Re-keying manually to try and report accurately leads to errors and inconsistencies.

Our Solution
Our solution allows accurate cost calculation of recipes and menu cycles to remove all the guesswork around menu engineering analysis and menu pricing. All costs related to product or recipe changes are automatically recalculated. You can share a central recipe library across the business, ensuring consistency. And detailed reporting and smart analytics help deliver cost savings and efficiency.

Menu Cycles

The Problem
Quickly and easily planning menu cycles appropriate to the operation you run, with the right variety at the right cost point, can be a huge challenge. Once designed, you need to make sure that menus are available with the correct allergen and nutritional information at the right locations and at the right time.

Our Solution
Full and varied menu cycles are easy to plan and build, using a weekly view that shows all the different meal periods for each day and the recipes allocated to each period. Full menu cost, nutritional analysis, and allergen information is available for any given day or week within the cycle. And, once published centrally, menus are instantly available to the right locations at the right times via PCs or tablets, giving you complete control.
