Frequently Asked Questions
Say goodbye to time-consuming inventory management process.
What is recipe costing software?
Recipe costing software calculates the precise cost of each menu item by tracking the price of every ingredient in real time. MarketMan's recipe costing tool links directly to your live inventory prices so costs update automatically when supplier prices change.
How does MarketMan calculate recipe costs?
MarketMan pulls live ingredient prices from your purchase orders and inventory records, then calculates the cost per portion for each recipe. You can set target food cost percentages and instantly see which dishes are most and least profitable.
Can I track recipe costs across multiple locations?
Yes. MarketMan centralizes recipe data across all locations so you can maintain consistent costing standards, push menu updates to all sites, and compare actual versus theoretical food costs per location.
Does recipe costing update automatically when prices change?
Yes. When you receive a new invoice or update ingredient prices in MarketMan, all linked recipes recalculate automatically. You get instant alerts when a price change affects your menu profitability beyond a threshold you set.
Does MarketMan support sub-recipes and modifiers?
Yes. MarketMan supports sub-recipes (prep recipes used inside other recipes), modifiers, and portion-level tracking. This allows accurate costing for complex dishes, buffet items, and custom menu configurations.
