Why Recipe Library Management

Stop guessing your food cost

Most kitchens only find out about lost stock at month end. Recipe Library Management links your menu, your sales and your chef's daily count, so the gap shows up the same day.

Without Recipe Library Management

✗  Dish costs live in old spreadsheets

✗  Nobody knows the real food cost % per item

✗  Sales and kitchen stock are never compared

✗  Waste and over-portioning stay hidden

With Recipe Library Management

✓  Every dish costed from its ingredients

✓  Food cost % and margin on every menu item

✓  Theoretical usage calculated from confirmed sales

✓  Daily variance flagged as OK, Check or Variance

Every dish, costed

02 · Recipe card

Ingredients in, food cost out

Add each ingredient or prep item with its quantity per portion. The unit cost comes from the product cost, so the standard cost, food cost % and margin are always current. Set the code, branch and category (Sushi, Japanese, Arabic or Other), add a menu photo and notes, and press Sales of this Menu to see its confirmed sales lines.

04 · Prep & sub-recipes

Batch once, cost per kilo

Sushi rice, sauces and bases are cooked in batches. Enter the raw ingredients and the batch yield: Recipe Library Management calculates the batch cost and the cost per unit, for example AED 39.00 ÷ 5 kg = AED 7.80 per kg. Use the prep product inside your menu recipes.

05 · Consumption analysis

What your sales should have used

For every confirmed sales order, Recipe Library Management multiplies the sold quantity by the recipe quantity to get the theoretical ingredient usage and its cost, next to the sales value and potential food cost %.

06 · Daily closing & variance

Spot the gap every day

Start Daily Closing asks for the date and branch and creates a closing line for every ingredient used in your recipes. Fill in opening stock, purchases, transfers in and out, waste and the expected usage from sales, then the chef enters the closing count. Actual consumption, expected closing and variance are calculated on each line.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Recipe Library Management is free to download and use.
Who can do what?
Recipe Library Management User / Chef views recipes, enters daily closing counts and reads the consumption analysis. Recipe Library Management Manager also creates and edits menu and prep recipes.
Which apps does it need?
Sales, Inventory and Purchase. Ingredient costs come from the product cost in Odoo.
Does it work with several branches?
Yes. Recipes, consumption and daily closings all carry a branch, so each location is checked on its own.
