Create a recipe sheet with ingredients and sub-recipes

Adding ingredients

For each ingredient you enter the quantity needed in the unit that is most natural in the kitchen, such as grams or millilitres, while Klyra automatically converts against the product’s purchase unit.

Using sub-recipes

A base preparation, such as a stock or a sauce, can become a sub-recipe reused across several dishes: if you change the sub-recipe, every recipe using it updates accordingly.

Organising the sheet

Besides ingredients, the sheet holds category, standard portions, photos and preparation notes, so anyone in the kitchen can follow it without ambiguity.

• Ingredients from the product catalogue
• Reusable sub-recipes
• Standard reference portions
• Photos and notes for the brigade

Consistency with stock

For the food cost calculation to be reliable, every recipe ingredient must correspond to a product that actually exists in the catalogue, with an up-to-date purchase price.

Problemi frequenti

• The recipe cost looks wrong → an ingredient is not linked to the correct catalogue product → check and fix the link
• The quantity does not convert correctly → the product’s purchase unit is not set → check the product sheet in Stock
• A sub-recipe does not update linked recipes → the sub-recipe was duplicated instead of edited → edit the original that other recipes reuse
• The recipe lacks notes for the brigade → the notes field was left empty → add preparation instructions before publishing
