Module 09 · Shift and up

Food cost that prices itself as you type.

The module most POS vendors sell as a separate product. It is the reason the profitability report is worth reading, so it is included.

Recipes are a brand standard. An outlet reads; only the brand writes.

Questions it answers

The four you will ask it first.

  • What does this dish cost to make today?
  • What would it have to sell for to hit the target food cost?
  • Which dishes moved when a supplier put a price up?
  • Which recipes belong to the brand, and which to the outlet?

The steps
  1. Open Menu.
  2. Press Recipe on the dish.
  3. Each line is an ingredient, its cost, the quantity in one portion and its sub-total.
  4. Search an ingredient and pick it to add a line.
  5. Type how much one portion uses.
  6. Cost, food cost and profit update as you go, with a suggested price for your target.
  7. Save draft keeps your change. Sales and stock still use the published recipe.
  8. Publish when it is right. From then on, each sale takes these quantities off stock.

Before you believe it

The four questions everyone asks.

Where does the ingredient cost come from?

From its vendor’s pack price: what the pack costs, divided by what it holds. When a delivery comes in at a different price, delEat flags the change for head office to approve, so one outlet’s invoice never silently moves the food cost of every dish.

Can we bring recipes in from a spreadsheet?

Yes. Ingredients and recipes import from CSV templates, so a costing sheet you already keep is not typed in twice.

Can head office lock a recipe?

Yes. Held centrally, visible to outlets, editable only by the people you name.

Which plan includes recipe costing?

Shift, AED 429 per outlet a month on a two-year term, 479 billed yearly or 579 monthly, with inventory and purchasing in the same plan.
