Scale Recipes

The Scale Recipes screen is used to adjust the batch size of a recipe to suit production needs. When the required yield is entered, the system recalculates the recipe component quantities and generates an updated recipe indicating the products and quantities required to produce the new yield.

The cost per portion and total cost of the recipe are displayed based on current product pricing information. Recipe cost information will only be available to authorized users. The Recipe Card report displays the same recipe component and preparation information but does not allow scaling and does not display costs. Only recipes that are active at the current location can be scaled.
