Recipe

When building a recipe, you add ingredients from your Inventory, specify how much of each is used, and set a batch yield — how many servings that batch produces. Dinezy sums each ingredient's unit cost times quantity to get the total batch cost, then divides by the batch yield to give you the cost per serving. Waste and trim loss don't need a separate multiplier — they're already reflected in the yield number you set.

The recipe detail page shows a cost breakdown: each ingredient's quantity, its unit price, and its subtotal. The total at the bottom is the material cost per serving — this covers ingredients only, not labor or overhead.

Viewing recipes requires the View Recipe permission, and editing (creating, modifying, or deleting) requires the Edit Recipe permission. These are separate from View Recipe Cost — a role can see a recipe's steps and ingredients without seeing its cost numbers, which is useful for kitchen staff who need the recipe but shouldn't see food cost data.

For signature or proprietary recipes, a separate View Confidential Recipe permission lets you restrict specific recipes to a smaller group, even among staff who otherwise have general recipe access.

All of these permissions can be configured per role under Settings → Roles & Permissions.
