Recipe Development
Cost Genie 3.5 adjusts to your recipes. It allows you to insert pictures and to find and sort by name, type, category, recipe source, current menu, etc.
Our recipe program is a tremendous food-costing tool. You’ll have instant “pre-cost: information based on your current food prices. No more guesswork, no more surprise food cost fluctuations. Standardized recipes mean greater consistency, better food cost, and more satisfied customers. Re-work your current recipe and develop new concepts in a snap.
