Recipe Costing

Know the cost of every plate before you cook it

Recipe and menu costs are worked out from the rates you actually pay, so festival budgets and daily prasadam planning start from real numbers.

What you get

Recipe Costing, done properly

Cost per recipe and per serving

See the cost of any recipe at any yield, broken down by ingredient.

Live rates

Costs follow the weighted-average value of stock you hold, and fall back to your master rates when stock runs out.

Menu and day totals

Cost a whole week's menu or a single festival day before committing to it.

Fast on large menus

Costing for hundreds of recipes is calculated in one go, not one at a time.

In practice

A day in the kitchen

  1. 1

    The temple president asks what the Janmashtami feast will cost.

  2. 2

    The kitchen manager costs the planned menu for 10,000 guests in a minute.

  3. 3

    Two expensive dishes are swapped and the new total is visible at once.
