Recipes

Recipes are the blueprints for everything you make. Each recipe lists the ingredients drawn from your stock and their quantities, calculates a total weight, and defines the label and expiry settings applied automatically when production runs. You’ll find Recipes in the Production section of the sidebar.

You need at least one stock item recorded before you can create a recipe. If none exist, you’ll see a message prompting you to add stock first.

Create a recipe

1. Click New Recipe.
2. Fill in Product Details on the left:
   • Name — the recipe name.
   • Quantity in Pack — how many units are produced per pack.
   • Barcode for Label — EAN-13 barcode printed on product labels.
   • Storage Information — e.g. Store <2 ºC.
   • Expiry in Days From Production — used to auto-set use-by dates.
   • Default label — choose an HTML or PDF label template, or leave as No default label.
   • Retail Price — optional cost reference.
3. Add ingredients on the right:
   • Click Add Ingredient for each stock item.
   • Search by name and enter a quantity for each. The Recipe Weight updates automatically.
4. Click Create Recipe.

Edit a recipe

Click the ⋯ menu on any recipe card, then choose Edit. The same fields are available, plus:

• Variable Weight toggle — enable for recipes where each unit is weighed individually.
• Labelling section — default label, Barcode for Label, and Storage Info fields.
• Box Information — Products in a Box (Box Label) and Barcode for Box Label for case-level traceability.

Click Update Recipe to save.

Produce from a recipe card

Each recipe card shows a Produce Product button. This takes you directly to the single-product production flow where you set a use-by date and confirm. For multi-recipe runs, use the Production page instead.

Recipes that also produce in-house stock

Under Produces Stock, you can set a recipe to output Both: finished products AND in-house stock. Use this for things like sauce bases or starters that feed other recipes — each production run makes the resulting batch available as a stock ingredient once it completes.

Archive a recipe

Click ⋯ > Delete on the recipe card. You will be asked to confirm. To view archived recipes, open the ⋯ menu in the page header and select Show archived.
