Recipe Costing

Calculating the exact ingredient cost of a dish from its recipe.

Recipe costing breaks a menu item into its ingredients and quantities to compute the true cost of making it, which underpins pricing and food cost targets. As supplier prices move, accurate recipe costs flag which dishes need attention. Opero links recipes to inventory SKUs so each sale draws down ingredients and updates cost, keeping food cost percentages honest across the menu.
