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 By the time you run a food cost report, your menu is priced on numbers that are months out of date.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. [Fix costing](#rc-features) ![](/images/001-reality-check.avif) ### Disconnected Systems Recipe costs and purchasing data live in separate systems. There’s no automatic link between them. [Connect data](#rc-features) ![](/images/002-reality-check.avif) ### GP% Is a Guess Without live recipe costs, food cost % is estimated from memory. Decisions made on bad numbers produce bad results. [Get real numbers](#rc-features) ![](/images/003-reality-check.avif) **PurchasePlus connects your recipes to reality.** When a supplier price changes, every dish recalculates automatically. 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](/images/purchaseplus-2026-pages-images-recipe-features-5.avif) 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](/images/purchaseplus-2026-pages-images-recipe-features-4.avif) 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](/images/purchaseplus-2026-pages-images-recipe-features-3.avif) 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](/images/purchaseplus-2026-pages-images-recipe-features-2.avif) 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. ![Connected to inventory and POS](/images/purchaseplus-2026-pages-images-recipe-features-recipe-feature-05-pos-sync.avif) Capabilities ## Everything your kitchen and finance team need. ### Recipe Builder Unlimited ingredients, sub-recipes, and components. ### Live Ingredient Pricing Costs update automatically when supplier prices change. ### Selling Price & GP% Enter your selling price and see GP% calculated instantly. ### Menu Costing Group recipes into menus, calculate total food cost %. ### Yield & Waste Tracking Accurate costing based on actual usable yield per portion. ### Multi-Outlet Support Manage recipe libraries across multiple kitchens and outlets.
