Recipe & Menu Management

Know the true cost of every dish. In real time.

PurchasePlus links each recipe directly to live supplier pricing. When ingredients cost more, every affected dish recalculates automatically.

  • Live cost per dish, updates when supplier prices change.
  • Recipe library linked to purchasing, receiving, and inventory.
  • GP% by dish, by menu, by outlet.
  • Yield factors and portion sizes, costing on what's actually used.
Recipe Reality Check

Your recipe spreadsheet hasn’t been updated since the menu changed

Most kitchens price their menus at the start of the year, or when a new chef joins. Supplier prices change weekly. Portion sizes drift. By the time you run a food cost report, your menu is priced on numbers that are months out of date.

Stale Cost Data

Ingredient prices change every week. Your recipe spreadsheet doesn’t. The gap compounds every month.

Disconnected Systems

Recipe costs and purchasing data live in separate systems. There’s no automatic link between them.

GP% Is a Guess

Without live recipe costs, food cost % is estimated from memory. Decisions made on bad numbers produce bad results.

Key Features

Five capabilities that turn your recipe library into a live margin engine.

Feature 01 · Live Ingredient Links

Build it once. PurchasePlus keeps it accurate.

Each recipe ingredient links to a real product in your PurchasePlus catalogue. Every time a supplier updates their price, every recipe containing that ingredient recalculates automatically. No manual updates. No stale numbers.

Live-linked recipe costing
Feature 02 · Live GP% Analysis

See gross profit by dish, not just by month.

PurchasePlus calculates GP% per recipe using live ingredient costs and your selling price. Review at dish level, menu level, outlet level, or across your whole portfolio. Spot problems before they become patterns.

GP% at dish and menu level
Feature 03 · Yield & Portion Costing

Cost what’s actually used, not just what’s purchased.

Build in yield factors, portion sizes, and prep weights for each ingredient. PurchasePlus calculates cost based on usable yield per portion, not the raw purchase unit. The math is always right.

Portion, yield and waste management
Feature 04 · Sub-Recipes & Components

Complex menus, no complexity.

Build sub-recipes (stocks, sauces, pastry bases) and use them as components inside other recipes. Cost cascades automatically through every dish they appear in. Change the sub-recipe once, every dish updates.

Sub-recipes and components
Feature 05 · Inventory & POS Sync

Recipes feed inventory. POS sales feed GP%. All connected.

Every recipe links directly to inventory items. When a dish is sold via your POS system, inventory decrements automatically by the recipe quantities. Theoretical vs actual usage is tracked in real time, variance appears immediately.
