Ingredient Categories
Organize your ingredients into categories that match how your business actually works.
Every ingredient belongs to a category — and you decide what those categories are. Proteins, dairy, produce, dry goods, packaging, labour — whatever grouping makes sense for how you think about your costs and your kitchen.
Categories control how costs are grouped in your recipe breakdowns, how ingredients are organized in your lists, and which features apply to which ingredients. You can also choose whether ingredients from a specific category show up on printed recipe sheets or stay hidden (useful for labour or overhead costs).
Why this matters
Your categories, your way.
A good category structure makes everything easier — from reading recipe costs to organizing your ingredient list to building shopping lists. Set it up once to match how you actually think about your inventory and costs.
