What it saves you
- Daily mise en place per station with par levels - what each cook must prep is calculated from what is left.
- Specials with cost, price and how many sold - specials worth promoting to the main menu stand out.
- Cost per portion from recipe cost and yield
- Recipes scale to any batch size with a multiplier
- Production batches keep lot numbers and use-by dates for traceability
- Checks outside safe limits are flagged for action
How the parts work together
- Spec it: Write the recipe with yield and batch cost
- Produce: Set Scale x for the day → Log the batch with lot number and shelf life
- Stay safe: Log checks at every service → Act on "Out of range"
