Recettes : coût matière, food cost, marge et coefficient

Sound familiar?

“Butter went up, and I didn’t dare touch the croissant price.”

“I redo allergen sheets by hand for every new product.”

“I don’t know what my base doughs cost.”

What changes for you.

Your prices follow your costs

Every piece is recosted when an ingredient changes price.

Allergens that are right on the counter

Worked out from the ingredients to the label, with no copying.

Base doughs costed once

And reused in every recipe that needs them.

How Zesto does it.

Frequently asked questions

Another question? Write to us at contact@zesto.app

Can I count in pieces?

Yes: a recipe can yield pieces, sheets or portions, and its cost comes down to the unit.

Are sub-recipes unlimited?

Yes, to any depth; their cost and allergens carry up automatically.

Can I print labels in the shop?

Yes: use-by and INCO labels on thermal rolls or A4, with ingredients and allergens.

What about VAT?

Each recipe has its own rate: 5.5, 10 or 20%.
