FAQ
Do I need to know Excel to use this?
No. The file is fully built and protected. You just type in the yellow cells (ingredients used, items received). Everything else calculates automatically. I also include a short PDF guide and a video walkthrough if you order Premium.
I have recipes with multiple ingredients. Will this track food cost per dish?
Yes, if you add the Recipe Costing Extra. The core system tracks total ingredient value and usage. With the extra, I'll add a dedicated tab that links ingredients to menu items and calculates the exact cost per plate sold.
Can I use this on an iPad or Iphone in the kitchen?
Yes. The file works perfectly in any device with Excel or Google Sheets. If you select the Google Sheets Sync Extra, I will ensure all the formulas are optimized for mobile/tablet use so your cooks can update stock from a tablet.
What is the difference between Standard and Premium for a restaurant?
Standard: I load up to 50 ingredients from your list, add your logo, and support you for 7 days. Premium: I load unlimited ingredients, record a personalized video tutorial explaining your specific file, and support you for a full month. It's best for larger menus or complex kitchens.
How does the "Low Stock Alert" work?
The Current Stock tab changes color automatically. Green means good, Yellow means running low, and Red means order now. You set the "Reorder Point" once for each ingredient, and Excel handles the rest.
