Recipe Profit/Margin
This is the calculation of the dollar value and percentage profit using the on-screen
quantities.
Product Code
This allows you to use this table to enter the ingredients, if the Product Code is not
known the search icon in the right hand side of the Product Code box can be used.
Description
Once the ingredient is found, such as the Pint of Beer or the Bread then the description
is automatically brought on Screen.
Quantity
This is the quantity of the stock item to be used when this RECEIPE item is sold,
i.e. 0.5 of a pint is used every time a half pint of beer is sold, or 2 slices of bread for
every ham sandwich
When the Recipe screen is exited a prompt appears asking whether recipe costs should
be updated. For example the half pint beer costs nothing until the recipe was created
stating it uses 0.5 of a pint. The half pint will now be updated in the average/cost field
for the product. These costs are also maintained at purchases, as the cost of the
ingredients increases.
Render
If the item is a sub recipe such as roll & butter used in a main recipe such as soup &
roll. It is necessary if a change has been made to the costing of the sub recipe to render
to ensure the true cost of the main recipe is shown. For example, if the number of
butter portions within the bread and butter has increased the cost would also increase.
When the Soup & Roll recipe was called up on screen immediately after this change the
cost would not be correct unless Regenerate is carried out. When a recipe is saved, the
price is automatically rendered.
