Recipes in your head don't scale. You can't be on every station.

Add step-by-step prep instructions with photos. Print as prep sheets. Train new staff in days instead of weeks.

Your business depends on you being in the kitchen

You know how to make everything. But you can't be everywhere. Your team interprets recipes differently. The result: inconsistent product, wasted ingredients, and you trapped on the line.

  • Knowledge locked in one person's head
  • Staff interpret recipes differently without documented steps
  • Training new hires takes weeks of shadowing

Written steps with photos mean any team member can execute any recipe consistently.

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.

How it works

Add prep steps

Write step-by-step instructions for each recipe. Add photos where helpful.

2
Print prep sheets

Generate PDF prep sheets with ingredients, steps, photos, and timing.

3
Train your team

New staff follow the steps. Training time drops and consistency improves.

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.
