Costing recipes and portions

A recipe lists its ingredients and how much each one costs. CaterKit adds them up and divides by yield to get a cost per portion.

Set your cost factors once under Settings, Costing & tax: labor, overhead, and a target margin. These apply across your quotes so you are not doing the math by hand each time.

Your target margin is the profit you want built in. CaterKit uses it to suggest prices and to color the margin bar on a quote green, amber or red.

All money is handled precisely, to the cent, with no rounding surprises between a recipe, a quote and a report.

Update an ingredient price and every recipe that uses it reflects the new cost the next time you open it.
