Electronic Recipe
Management for
Consistent Food Quality

By establishing an electronic recipe database via FOODIVAL, you can record the ingredients and quantities required to prepare each dish in the system. This not only facilitates cost calculations and inventory management, but also helps maintain consistency in production quality control while keeping up with the digitalisation trend in the F&B industry.

Effortless Management
of Semi-finished Products
with Precise Cost Calculation

In addition to managing your main recipes and menu, our e-recipe module can also handle semi-finished products, such as homemade sauces. You can add recipes of semi-finished goods to main recipes that require them, and FOODIVAL will automatically calculate the total amount of ingredients needed for making that dish and directly deduct the used amount from inventory.

One-Click
Restock with Ease

By setting up e-recipes, FOODIVAL can automatically select items and count the quantity of ingredients to be ordered based on the ingredients and quantities required for different dishes. This feature helps speed up the ordering process and saves manual searching time for each ingredient in the system, making restocking more convenient than ever.

Flexible Ingredient
Substitution Makes
Inventory Management Easier

To facilitate inventory management and enhance cost control, you can preset substitutes for specified ingredients in FOODIVAL. When the inventory of a particular ingredient is insufficient, the system can deduct inventory levels or calculate costs according to the order of ingredients in the substitute list.

FAQs About FOODIVAL Recipe Management

Q1: What do we need to prepare before implementing FOODIVAL's recipe management module?

Before implementing FOODIVAL’s recipe management module, you need to prepare both the recipes for each dish on your restaurant menu and the semi-finished recipes, including the required ingredients and quantities for each dish, so that we can create a complete electronic recipe database for you.

Q2: Does FOODIVAL support applying semi-finished good recipes, including homemade sauces and to main recipes?

Yes! FOODIVAL supports semi-finished good recipe management. You can create sub-recipes (i.e. recipes for semi-finished goods) through our system and add the sub-recipes (such as homemade sauces and broth) when creating a main recipe (i.e. dishes on the menu). The system will automatically calculate per-dish cost or deduct stock levels based on the ingredient usage in both main and sub-recipes.

Q3: How does FOODIVAL calculate the ideal and actual costs of different dishes?

FOODIVAL calculates the ideal cost of dishes based on the system’s recipe data, purchase prices and sales data extracted from the POS system. At the same time, it can also take your restaurant’s actual ingredient usage derived from regular stocktakes into account as the basis for calculating the actual cost of dishes.

Q4: How does FOODIVAL conduct in-depth analysis of dish costs and performance so as to help me optimise menu design and profits?

FOODIVAL offers built-in intelligent analytics tools to help you conduct comprehensive analysis on various key operational data, including recipes, purchasing, stock and POS sales. This data is crucial for you to gain clear visibility into the profit and sales performance of each dish on your menu. With FOODIVAL’s in-depth analysis, you can easily identify “star products” (i.e. Best-sellers with highest sales volume and profits), dishes that are profitable but less popular, and dishes that are neither profitable nor popular. These data-driven insights help you enhance your sales strategy for maximising profits.
