Food Till Check - Recipes

Use the Recipes screen to add and amend menu dishes.

Click on the New Recipe button and you will be prompted for a recipe Code - each recipe needs a unique code. Then you'll have a prompt for the recipe name/description. Once that's supplied, you can start adding the extra details and ingredients to the recipe.

The Unit box could be used to reflect the size of meal, e.g. 'Child' portion, or it could show the type of dish, e.g. 'Main' course.

In the box for each product, press the '/' key, or prefix it with part of a description of a product, e.g. 'beef/'. The product search list will be displayed showing all products, or all products that match the prefix.

Select the product you want using the mouse or up/down arrow keys and then press Enter. The product details will now be shown and you can enter the amount of that product that is used in the recipe.

The figure you enter depends on how the product is defined. So if it's defined in Kg, and the recipe requires 50gm, you would need to enter '0.05'.

The Copy Recipe button will create a new recipe with the same details as the one you have selected. Once created, you can change the ingredients and/or prices as appropriate.

The Import Recipes button will allow you to bring in recipes that are already setup in another outlet. You must have consistent product codes between outlets for this to work effectively.


The Recipe Pricing window is where you can specify the prices for each recipe, along with the relevant PLU numbers from the till.

It's possible to have two different PLU numbers for each recipe. This allows for pubs to sell dishes at different prices maybe at different times of the day.


The Recipe Stocks window deals with those recipes which are made-up and stored for later use.

Put a tick in the Stock column for a recipe and it will appear on your count sheet so you can record the amount of stock and then later enter it into the closing stock column.

You can also record any wastage against a recipe here.

The tick boxes for Live and Stock allow you to choose/filter which recipes are shown.
