What problem it solves
Raising a price without knowing what the dish costs is guesswork. Menu costing computes each dish's cost from its recipe and the current ingredient prices, so a supplier price increase shows up as a margin change on the affected dishes.
You can also create scenarios to compare how cost would change if prices move, before touching the menu.
How it works
Define the recipes of your dishes with their ingredients.
Keep ingredient prices up to date.
Review the costing dashboard: cost and margin per dish.
Create a scenario to simulate changes before applying them.
