Preparation Methods
Add step-by-step preparation methods with photos to any recipe.
A recipe isn't just a list of ingredients — it's the instructions for how to put them together. Recipe Cost Calculator lets you add detailed preparation steps to any recipe, with text instructions and photos for each step.
These instructions show up on the recipe page, on printed prep sheets, and in PDF exports. Your team gets clear, visual guidance for every dish — not just a list of ingredients and quantities.
Prep instructions are especially valuable for training new staff, maintaining consistency across shifts, and documenting your recipes in a way that doesn't depend on one person's memory. Combined with recipe images and scaling, you get a complete production guide for any batch size.
Why this matters
Your recipes, fully documented.
When your prep methods are written down with photos and clear steps, anyone on your team can execute them consistently. It's the difference between training that takes weeks and training that takes days.
