Kitchen operations
The week's orders turn into a prep list and a shopping list by supplier. Track ingredient costs and stock, and run more than one kitchen when you grow.
I build the prep list from the orders by hand, then guess the grocery order. I either over-buy and throw food out, or run short mid-week.
And I do not really know what each meal costs me, because the prices live in a notebook and a few receipts.

What you see in the admin
Pick a delivery week and get the prep list: how many of each meal and portion to make, from that week's orders and weekly plans. Skipped and paused weeks are left out. From here you print labels and packing slips for the week.

Further down: everything to buy, rounded to how you buy it, with one list per supplier and its estimated cost. With stock recorded, each row shows what the week needs, what is on hand and what to buy. Print it or download it as a spreadsheet.
What you see in the admin
The Ingredients page holds everything you buy, how you buy it (by the pound, by the case), what it costs, which supplier it comes from and how much you have on hand. Recipes and costs are worked out from this list, and you can add a second supplier and price to compare.
What you see in the admin
Anything at or below its alert level is listed at the top and marked Low. Stock goes down when you mark a week cooked, never when an order is placed, so an order cancelled before then simply drops out of the plan. Adjust stock with a reason (a delivery received, a count correction, waste or spoilage) and every adjustment is kept in the stock history.
What you see in the admin
Each kitchen has its own address (where its routes start), ordering deadline and delivery days, delivery zones, pickup spots and the meals it offers. Customers are matched to a kitchen by their address or pickup spot, and each kitchen keeps its own stock. With one kitchen you see none of this. The screen is from the demo's Established sample business, which has two.
Each plan includes everything in the plans before it.
The week's prep list and shopping list from the orders.
In Basic and aboveIngredient costs, food cost per meal and your supplier list.
In Advanced and aboveStock on hand, counted down as you cook each week.
In Advanced and aboveRun several kitchens, each with its own schedule, zones and menu.
In the Pro planYou buy for the week's actual orders, with what is already on your shelves taken into account, instead of guessing.
Ingredient costs and suppliers sit behind every recipe, so you can see the food cost of a meal before you set its price.
The prep list, the shopping list and the labels all come from the same orders, so you stop retyping the week.
When a second kitchen makes sense, it has its own schedule, zones and stock, and your reports can show one kitchen or all of them.

Yes. The prep list is built from that week's orders and the weekly plans that are actually delivering. Skipped and paused weeks are left out.
When you mark a week cooked. Then the exact amounts on that week's shopping list come off stock, once, and Undo cooked puts them back. Nothing comes off when an order is placed.
The shopping list is split by supplier, with an estimated cost for each. You can print it or download it as a spreadsheet.
No. Production planning, costs and inventory work with one kitchen. More than one kitchen is a separate feature, in the Pro plan, for when you grow into it.
ZIP zones, delivery days and deadlines, pickup locations, route sheets and packing slips.
Printable labels with nutrition facts, ingredients, allergens and use-by dates, from your own menu data.
Analytics, repeat rate and churn, CSV exports and a sales tax report.
