From the prep batch to the plate

A sauce or stock can appear in several dishes. Build the prep recipe once, then use it wherever it belongs on the menu. When its cost changes, you can see the effect on the dishes that use it.

  • Know the ingredient cost of a portion.
  • Spot dishes that are drifting above your food cost target.
  • See which ingredients deserve a closer look.
