Build a recipe. See the cost. See the GP.
Ingredients, portions, method, allergens, dietaries, live cost, and live gross profit on one screen.
Recipe Creation is the day-to-day tool the kitchen and the finance side actually share. Add an ingredient and the cost ticks up. Adjust a portion and the gross profit moves. Allergens and dietaries are inferred from the ingredients you choose; overrides are tracked so the change is visible to everyone.
The problem this solves
Costing a recipe by hand at the end of the month is too late. The margin call has already been made. Live cost on the recipe screen moves the decision back to where it belongs: with the chef who is building the dish.
How it works
- Add ingredients: Quantities, units, waste factor; the cost ticks up in real time.
- Tag allergens and dietaries: Inferred from the ingredients; you can override and the override is tracked.
- Create variants: Half portion, gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free. Variants are first-class, not copies.
- Draft and publish: Safe drafts to try changes; if publishing conflicts with an existing dish, Havenue offers a clear choice to update, link, or save under a new name.
What you get
- Margin decided before the menu is sent: Live cost and GP at recipe time, not month-end.
- Variants without copy-paste: One recipe, many variants, all linked.
- Allergens that follow the dish: From ingredient to recipe to menu to event sheet, automatically.
- Drafts you can trust: Try a change without disturbing the live menu.
Who this is for
- Executive Chef
- Sous Chef
- Finance & GM
