Recipe and ingredients
Build recipes with ingredients that scale automatically
Attach ingredient lists to any dish and let the system keep quantities in sync when your guest count changes.
You define what goes into each dish. Catermonkey tracks the quantities, adjusts them when you change the number of people, and totals everything for your prep team.
- Attach ingredients with quantities and units to any food product.
- Toggle auto-adjust so ingredient quantities scale when you change the number of people in the order.
- Include sub-recipes as ingredients; their components roll up into final totals.
- All recipe data feeds the Preparation List for the kitchen.
List every ingredient your kitchen needs to make a dish, butter, flour, sub-recipes, whatever you buy or prep in-house. Attach quantities and units. When you add the dish to an order and update the guest count, every ingredient quantity scales in real time.
The recipe editor supports sub-recipes: bases, sauces, or fillings you make once and reuse across multiple dishes. You can nest them like any other ingredient, and their own ingredient lists roll up into your final prep totals.
Every recipe feeds the Preparation List, which your kitchen staff prints to see aggregated quantities across the entire order. One screen manages the recipe; the system handles the math.
