When a price changes, your margins change

Your supplier sends a new price. You put it in. Every item that uses that ingredient now shows a new margin. You do not open a single recipe.

The rule: you change the price in one place. The app changes everything above it.

How it works

  1. A new price arrives. You upload the price list in Suppliers, or you type the new price on the ingredient.
  2. The app writes the new cost on that ingredient.
  3. If the ingredient splits into parts, each part takes its share. A whole egg gets dearer, so the yolk and the white get dearer.
  4. Every recipe that uses any of those is costed again. Then every recipe that uses those recipes.
  5. Open Food Margins or Beverage Margins. The new numbers are there.

This takes a few seconds. Nothing to press.

Good to know

  • It works the same for a whole price list and for one price you type by hand.
  • A goods receipt at a new price does it too.
  • Only your main supplier for an ingredient sets its cost. A second supplier’s price list does not change it.
  • Once a night the app checks every recipe again. This is a safety net. You should never see it change anything.
  • You do not need stock levels for any of this. Cost is enough.
