What Recipes & plate cost does.

Costed from inventory

Each ingredient is linked to an inventory item and uses the unit cost you actually pay, with weights, volumes and pack sizes converted for you — so the plate cost on the card is real, and it moves when a supplier price does.

Allergens flagged

Allergens such as milk, eggs, wheat and soy are flagged on each card, and the allergen matrix shows every recipe against every allergen on one screen.

Directions

Numbered steps, yields and notes the line can follow on a phone, so the drink tastes the same on Sunday as on Tuesday.

Sub-recipes and missing costs

Use a syrup or a dough inside another recipe, and fix every ingredient without a real cost from one Missing costs list.

Connected to

Nothing in Ospelia sits on its own. Recipes & plate cost reads from and feeds these.

Good to know
