What it does for your business
Write a recipe for each dish and each POS option: the rice, the chicken, the oil, in grams or millilitres, with how many portions a batch makes and the trimming waste. Every sale then takes the ingredients from stock instead of the dish, and returns put them back. See the food cost % of each dish, category and day, which dishes are stars, plowhorses, puzzles or dogs, the waste your kitchen logs, and how far your stock counts are from what the recipes say was used.
