Recipe Composition
Master Recipes
Build sophisticated recipes from reusable components. Create once, use everywhere, with automatic cost rollups and real-time updates.
Master Recipes let you compose complex dishes from simpler building blocks. Define your base sauces, doughs, marinades, and preparations as sub-recipes, then combine them into polished menu items. When you update a sub-recipe, every master recipe using it updates automatically—including costs, nutrition, and allergens.

Why Use Master Recipes?
Stop duplicating recipes and manually tracking dependencies. Build once, reuse everywhere, update instantly.
Modular Design
Build complex dishes from reusable components. A sauce, dough, or garnish created once can be used across dozens of master recipes.
Automatic Updates
Change a sub-recipe once and watch it cascade to all master recipes. No more updating the same ingredient in 50 different places.
Accurate Costing
Costs roll up automatically from sub-recipes to master recipes. See true food costs at every level of your recipe hierarchy.
Precise Scaling
Scale entire master recipes while maintaining perfect proportions across all components and sub-recipes.
Master Recipe Features
Powerful tools for building, managing, and scaling complex recipe hierarchies.
Multi-Level Hierarchies
Create recipes that reference other recipes, which can reference even more recipes. Build as deep as your production needs require.
Component Recipes
Define base recipes for sauces, stocks, doughs, and preparations. Reference them in multiple master recipes without duplication.
Cost Rollup
Ingredient costs flow automatically from base recipes up through the hierarchy. See true costs at every level.
Version Control
Track changes to any recipe in the hierarchy. Roll back a sub-recipe without affecting the rest of your production.
Dependency Tracking
Know exactly which master recipes use each sub-recipe. See impact before making changes to shared components.
BOM Generation
Generate complete Bills of Materials for production runs. All sub-recipe ingredients are rolled up into a single shopping list.
Built for Food Professionals
Whether you run a restaurant chain, manage food production, or design event menus, Master Recipes scales with your needs.
Restaurant Chains
Standardize recipes across locations. Central kitchen base recipes feed into location-specific master recipes with guaranteed consistency.
Executive Chefs
Design menu items that share components efficiently. Update a signature sauce once and see it reflected in every dish that uses it.
Food Manufacturers
Manage complex product formulations with multiple production stages. Each stage can be a sub-recipe feeding into the final product.
Catering Companies
Build event menus from reusable components. Scale any combination of dishes for events of any size with accurate costing.
