Setup Your Menu

Organize your menu from ingredients to recipes to pricing — all connected.

Step 1

Start with Ingredients

Add your raw ingredients with unit costs and supplier information. This is the foundation for accurate recipe costing — every price update here flows through to your recipes automatically.

Step 2

Create Your Recipes

Use the recipe builder to add ingredients with quantities, write step-by-step instructions, attach photos, and set portion sizes. Costs are calculated automatically as you build.

Step 3

Organize with Tags & Categories

Use color-coded tags to group recipes — for example, "Breakfast", "Gluten-Free", or "Seasonal". Filter and search across your entire recipe library in seconds.

Step 4

Link Recipes to Menu Items

Connect each recipe to a menu item so your pricing reflects real ingredient costs. When ingredient prices change, your menu cost data updates automatically.

Step 5

Review Your Cost Percentages

Use the cost breakdown view to see exactly how much each dish costs to make. Identify items with thin margins and adjust pricing or ingredients to improve profitability.
