How to account for dishes with variable composition?

How is the cost (food cost) of a dish calculated?

Food cost is calculated automatically from the recipe. The key is the units:

  • Ingredient prices are stored per purchasing unit — kg, liter or piece
  • Recipe amounts are entered in grams, milliliters or pieces
  • Formula - for each ingredient: amount × price, then divided by 1000 to reconcile grams/ml with the per-kg/per-liter price
  • Dish cost - the sum across all recipe ingredients

💡 Example: 150 g of flour at €0.80/kg = 150 × 0.80 ÷ 1000 = €0.12 per portion.

How do I get the price per kg/liter from a package price?

Use the built-in calculator on the ingredient form — no manual math needed:

  • Enter what you paid - the total price for the package
  • Enter the package size - e.g. a 5 kg bag or a 0.75 l bottle
  • Get the unit price - the system divides automatically to give the price per kg/l/pcs
  • Always accurate cost - this unit price feeds straight into food cost calculations
