What a recipe costs

Every line priced from your library

Open the recipe and tap the “Cost of production” card under the yield. Each row costs the amount this recipe uses, at the price in your library. A filling made from another recipe rolls up its own lines. Tap a row to open the ingredient. The summary splits the cost price into ingredients and extra costs, for the yield shown.

Usable part of what you buy

A kilo of strawberries loses its hulls before it reaches the bowl. Set a usable part on the ingredient and pick a preset for peeling, pitting or hulling. The recipe then costs what you have to buy, and the shopping list asks for that amount too. Whole pieces stay whole, and calories stay per what reaches the bowl.

Overhead, waste and labour

Overhead is a percentage of the ingredients, for electricity and packaging. Waste is another percentage, for batter left in the bowl, trimmed edges and a cake that failed. Additional covers a box or a board, per batch or as a flat total. Labour is a fixed amount, or a time you type against an hourly rate.

• Overhead as a percentage
• Waste as a percentage
• Additional per batch or as a flat total
• Labour fixed or by the hour

A selling price beside the cost

Tap “Add selling price” under the summary. Type the price you charge and the markup appears, or type the markup you want and the price appears. The margin in money sits under the fields. Save it, and a new order line for this recipe starts at that price. A price below cost shows both in red.
