Build recipes with ingredients that scale automatically
Link ingredient lists to every dish and let quantities update automatically as guest numbers change.
You decide what goes into each dish. Catermonkey tracks the quantities, adjusts them when the number of guests changes, and totals everything for your kitchen team.
In short
- Link ingredients with quantities and units to every food product.
- Turn on automatic scaling, so ingredient quantities scale as you change the guest count on the order.
- Add sub-recipes as an ingredient; their components add into the final totals.
- All recipe data comes together in the preparation list for the kitchen.
Ingredients and quantities
Enter every ingredient your kitchen needs for a dish: butter, flour, sub-recipes, anything you buy in or make yourself. Set quantities and units. As soon as you add the dish to an order and adjust the guest count, every ingredient quantity scales with it.
Sub-recipes as an ingredient
The recipe screen supports sub-recipes: bases, sauces or fillings you make once and reuse across several dishes. Add them in like any other ingredient, and their own ingredient list adds automatically into your final totals.
From recipe to preparation list
Every recipe feeds the preparation list, which your kitchen staff print to see the total quantities for the whole order. One screen manages the recipe; the system does the maths.
