Sub Recipe

Managers Menu > Inventory > Inventory Maintenance > Sub Recipes

Creating sub recipes is an optional step. Sub recipes are typically used for homemade sauces or dips that are used to further define items within a recipe.

Example: Restaurants that make their own guacamole.  The guacamole is added to multiple menu items.  The guacamole recipe itself is broken down into a sub recipe as avocado, tomato, pico, onion, etc.

Creating a sub recipe

1. Click the Sub Recipe tab on the tool bar
2. Type in the name of your recipe; such as Guacamole
3. In the Recipe Yields box, press the drop down and select the measurement of the serving size. The recipe's yield is number of servings that this recipe makes.
4. Select items that have been already set up in your inventory list; click in the first field under Inventory List to populate saved items. The price, portion and total will populate automatically when clicking anywhere else in that row.
   1. Example, 60 Avocados come in a Case and it is broken down into an “Each”.
      1. The recipe uses 6 avocados, an avocado in this example is defined as an “Each”.
      2. In the column of Recipe Uses, press the drop down and select “Each”.
5. In the QTY Used, type in 6 and press Enter or click out of the box. The Cost and Yield automatically calculates based on the entered data.
