Recipes
Build your menu items and see exactly what each one costs to make.

What is this?
A recipe is any item you sell — a dish, a drink, a dessert. You build it by listing the ingredients that go into it and how much of each. KinDee then calculates exactly what it costs to make, so you always know your margin.

What problem does it solve?
Without recipes, you have no idea if your Pad Thai makes money or loses it. You're setting prices by gut feeling instead of knowing that each plate costs you ฿45 to make and you're selling it for ฿150.

Pro tip
Watch the food cost percentage badge — green means healthy margin (under 30%), amber means watch it, red means you're losing money on that dish. Adjust portions or prices accordingly.
