Benefits of Bill of Materials
Cost control: You will know exactly how much each dish costs to produce.
Guaranteed margin: Compare the cost with the selling price to verify the margin.
Updated warehouse: Selling a dish automatically unloads ingredients from the warehouse.
Standardization: All your dishes will always have the same recipe and quality.
Practical Example
For a Carbonara:
200g Pasta (ingredient from warehouse)
2 Eggs
100g Guanciale
50g Pecorino
Salt and Pepper to taste
The system will calculate the total cost by summing the cost of each ingredient. When you sell a Carbonara, the warehouse will be automatically unloaded of the corresponding quantities.
