Capture the supplier package
Record the ingredient name, package price, package quantity, and unit. The workspace keeps reusable supplier costs separate from one recipe.
Recipe costing for restaurants
Turn package prices into recipe cost per serving.
Recipe costing is most reliable when each recipe line can be traced back to a supplier package, a recipe quantity, and a sellable yield. PrepMargin keeps those inputs visible so operators can correct the draft instead of trusting a black box.
A practical workflow
Add recipe amounts
For each dish, enter the amount of each ingredient used in the recipe and choose the matching unit. Review conversions when the purchase and recipe units differ.
Set yield and menu price
Yield turns the full recipe into a per-serving result. With the current menu price and target percentage, you can see the price required and the margin gap.
For a menu with existing files
Upload a menu, recipe source, and supplier-price source together. PrepMargin creates a review draft, keeps missing facts visible, and lets you save the reviewed dishes into a menu workspace.
Common questions
Can I upload a recipe card or spreadsheet?
Yes. Structured text and CSV files stay in your browser; signed-in PDF and photo imports create an editable draft. Use the format guide for sample files and expected columns.
Does PrepMargin infer every missing ingredient?
No. It preserves the distinction between extracted facts and missing facts. Review any draft before you save it or make pricing decisions from it.
