Recipe costing

Know what a plate of biryani costs before you price it

Recipes hold each ingredient, its quantity and its yield, so the plate cost in rupees follows the latest purchase price. Bases such as gravy, masala and dough are planned as production batches and costed once.

Step by step

How it works

  1. Write the recipe once

    Rice, meat, curd, masala and garnish with quantities per portion.

  2. Set the yield

    A handi that serves twelve divides its cost by twelve, not by a guess.

  3. Batch the bases

    Makhani gravy or biryani masala is planned as a batch and drawn down by the dishes that use it.

  4. Price with the margin in view

    When onion or chicken rates move, the plate cost moves with them.
