Recipe Management Software

Recipe management software is a system for building and storing your recipes digitally — the ingredients and quantities for each product, plus the labelling and shelf-life settings applied when you make it. In Forkto, each recipe is built from your stock items, so producing it deducts the right ingredients and keeps a traceable record of every batch.

Yes. Forkto is a UK-built recipe management system that sits inside a wider food safety and traceability platform. Recipes carry an EAN-13 barcode, storage information, a default label template and an expiry in days from production, and they connect straight to stock, production and your allergen matrix.

Yes. A recipe can be set to produce both a finished product and in-house stock. Sauce bases, stocks and starters become stock ingredients that other recipes can use, so your prep chain stays connected and every component is still traced back through production.

When you start a menu item from a recipe, Forkto reads the ingredients and suggests the allergens it recognises for you to confirm — it's an assist, not a guarantee, so you stay responsible for checking each one. Once confirmed, those allergens appear on your allergen matrix ready for an inspection.

Yes. Each recipe can hold an EAN-13 product barcode, storage information and a default HTML or PDF label template, so labels print correctly every time you produce. You can also add box information — products per box and a box barcode — for case-level labelling and traceability.

Every recipe card has a Produce button that starts a production run, or you can run several recipes at once from the production page. Producing a recipe deducts its ingredients from stock, applies the use-by date from your expiry setting, and records the batch so it's fully traceable.
