FAQ
Excel or Google Sheets?
Either, or both. The workbook uses standard formulas that work in Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice.
Do I need to know Excel?
No. Yellow cells are your inputs and everything else calculates. You also get a short how-to guide.
Can you load all my recipes?
Each package includes a set number of recipes. You can add more, or I can load extra recipes as a gig extra.
Can I reuse or resell the template?
You can use it in your own business(es). Reselling or redistributing the template isn't permitted.
