Excel for Recipe Costing

Excel for recipe costing is a tool that helps calculate the total expense of making a dish. By listing ingredients, their quantities, and costs, the spreadsheet automatically computes the cost per portion. It allows for easy adjustments—such as changing ingredient prices or portion sizes—to see how they impact overall costs and profit margins. This organized approach aids chefs and restaurant owners in pricing accurately, managing budgets, and ensuring profitability while maintaining quality and consistency.
