Batch Recipes & Ingredients

Even a simple, single menu item often requires several recipes, or sub-recipes that are produced as a Batch Recipe.

The Batch Recipe is assigned its own unit and cost based on to total cost to produce the batch and how much it yields.   Once a Batch Recipe is created it can then be used within Recipes, or within other Batches

Each Batch Recipe contains both preparation and cost information. The recipe measures and instructions can be printed for use by the kitchen and in your recipe manual.

• Examples
Salsa, Meatloaf, Soups, Sauces, Cheesecake, Salad Dressing, etc...

Process:  Building a Batch Recipe is nearly the same as building a Recipe (plated menu item) - except, Batch Recipes require a YIELD ie:  # of certain size portions produced by recipe

Stacking Batch Recipes:  Batches may include one or more Batch Recipes (ie. Lasagna may include tomato sauce, cream sauce, house-made pasta - each a Batch Recipe if its own right)
