Reports

Recipe Reports

There are a number of reports for recipes.

PRINT RECIPES
This report is on the POS page. This will generate on the All Recipes page a list of all recipes for all the items on the POS and subrecipe pages. There is an option to include cost. The recipes are listed one after another on the page.

RECIPE
The recipes page itself can be printed as is. The currently selected recipe can also be printed from the following pages

PLATE
This is formatted for a plating guide or recipe book for the kitchen. The order of ingredient then quantity are reversed. If an ingredient starts with the word "PART" then it is separated into a label in the first column.
If there is a photo in the sub folder named PHOTOS then that photo is printed below the recipe. The photo must be named the same as the POS item name. Note that because colons ":" are not allowed in item names, replace the colon with a percent sign "%"
This page is also exported as a pdf file in the sub folder named RECIPES. 

PLATE 2
This format is intended for subrecipes. The quantities are given as multiples of 1x to 4x the yield. This is the default format for the pdf export for sub recipes.

HACCP
This is a format for health department requirement for a HACCP guide. Note that when editing the recipes, you can double click on a line in the "method" area to a get a pop of a list of pre-existing haccp instructions.

Unused / Mismatch Report

This is a button on the price list. It checks all the items on the price list to see if they appear in any recipe, count sheet or received invoice. If not an "unused" label appears beside the item. It also check all sub recipes. The check on sub recipes appears on the Report page.

It then checks for mismatched units. This means if the unit of either a kg or litre appears on one page then a unit of each/count/etc cannot appear in any other page. i.e. there is a mismatch if you receive tomatoes by the pound but recipe them by the each or received them by the each from one supplier and by the pound from another. If you see mismatch by any item do an occurrence report and check the unit on each line. 

Below the unused/mismatches for the sub recipe, there is a list of ingredients in recipes that do not appear in the price list. This can be legitimately be an ingredient that you don't with to track with the inventory program but still need in the recipe for instuctions to the cook. For example water, a byproduct of some other sub recipe or an instruction that you have place in the ingredient section of the recipe instead of the method section. These can be safely ignored.

One thing to look out for is an ingredient with the word "DELETED" after the name. This is usually an ingredient that we had at one time but deleted at some point when we stopped using it. You should edit the recipe by double clicking on the recipe name and deleting or replacing that ingredient. Note that this also happens when you delete sub recipes. Note that you can prevent this by doing an occurenence report before deleting an ingredient or sub recipe to make sure it does not appear in any recipes.

There is also a list of items received that does not appear on the price list. Usually this is thing like miscellaneous food that we purchased for testing or a one time use. If you do see something that you do wish to track, then you need to insert that ingredient in the price list.
