Create batch recipes
Manage your batch recipes and work out costings, yield and profitability quickly and simply. Our menu engineering software allows you to adhere to your kitchen production plan with accuracy.
Create batched recipes that enable you to add a fully costed portion, drizzle or ladle-full to your plate with just the click of a mouse.
Menu dishes
Preparing a dish with a fully costed specification is never at the top of chef’s to-do list, which is why our menu costing system reduces admin to give you products which are fully costed and have accurate allergen and nutrition data available at your fingertips.
You can add to recipes and dishes in whatever quantities you choose – no dish will ever be dated again!
Dishes are tagged and stored in easy-to-find folders with a dynamic search tool for easy referencing.
Spec sheet
Creating an accurate batch recipe or menu dish via Access Procure Wizard is quick and easy. We understand the importance of ensuring that the production and front of house staff have access to a well-constructed specification that is relevant to them.
Methods, flexible portion calculator, allergen and nutrition data, gross and net weight production planner, critical control points and preparation instructions to create a dynamic dish spec as quick as a flash – no calculators, no spreadsheets, no messing around.
Photos and videos can also be added to create a visual guide in support of the written documentation.
These spec sheets can be produced for customer facing dish sheets as well as internal use menu engineered data.
Product level integration
Our recipe costings module integrates with your supplier catalogues for live pricing and up-to-date product information.
Our easy-to-use solution will help you control your costs and improve your profits without having to spend time maintaining a database of products and prices.
Sales mix analysis
With our menu engineering software, you can predict your gross profit margin based on the current sales mix represented on your menu, allowing you to launch a new menu with confidence that you have the right combination of profitable and popular dishes to produce the margin you are targeting.
Analysing and predicting your sales mix will accurately project your theoretical margin, ensuring you maximise revenue opportunity and accurately predict volume requirements.
Our software allows you to continuously monitor performance of individual products on your menu so you can identify your stars – the popular and profitable outstanding performers, and the dogs – the products that are struggling to perform or produce a profit.
Gross margin analytics
Our menu costing software helps protect profitability whilst our gross margin analytics will accurately chart EPoS dish sales or sales by revenue sector, to underpin total profit transparency.
This will seamlessly link live purchases, product transfers, waste and stock consumption to provide accurate product level analysis as well as high level KPIs.
