Questions & answers about costing

Can I use different costing methods with the software?

Yes, you can set your sales prices in the software based on various factors. The system allows you to include expenses, food cost targets, and contribution margins for pricing recommendations. You can choose between a simple markup calculation or a more detailed contribution margin calculation.

Can I manage different currencies and VAT rates?

Yes, when maintaining your recipes, you can set your preferred currency and apply appropriate tax rates for on-site consumption and takeaway sales. Additionally, you can assign an accounting account to each product group, enabling a detailed analysis of your business figures.

Can I easily manage allergen and ingredient information?

Yes, allergens and ingredients only need to be entered once per ingredient. They are then automatically applied to all related recipes and menus. When combined with Gastronovi and a supplier interface, you can benefit from automatic data import directly from the manufacturer, eliminating manual maintenance. This saves time and reduces errors.

Can I calculate prices without a direct supplier connection?

Yes, item prices can also be entered manually. However, pricing is even easier and faster when combined with our purchasing system. It allows you to automatically import and sync your supplier’s data daily. The software then suggests the optimal sales price based on your defined food cost ratio.
