Cost a dish (recipe → margin)
Link ingredients to a product so Crubby computes its food cost and margin automatically.
1. Build your ingredient library#
In Manager → Ingredients, add the ingredients you use with a cost per unit (and tag their allergens). Costs are the raw material for everything that follows.
2. Add a recipe to the product#
- 1
Open a product in Manager → Menu
Scroll to the recipe block in the editor.
- 2
Type @ to add an ingredient
Search by name, pick it, and set the quantity. Repeat for each ingredient.
- 3
Watch the cost update live
A Cost € figure and a margin badge update as you edit — selling price minus recipe cost.
Tip
The product's description is derived from the recipe automatically. Its allergens are too — and you can additionally declare allergens by hand; the effective set is the union of both (see Allergens).
3. Review the whole menu#
Open Financials → Food cost for a spreadsheet of every product's margin, organised by category. The numbers match the per-product badge in the menu editor.
