Record a food cost

Use this for a first estimate or a real change in price, recipe or portion size. Enter the restaurant-currency cost before tax for one item sold.

Open Menu & costs. Choose All items to find any item, including one not sold in the selected period. Use Sold in period to narrow the list, or Needs costs to find sold items without an estimate.
Select Add cost if the item has no estimate, or Manage cost to add a new dated estimate to its history.
Enter the before-tax amount for one item sold. Choose Portion, Glass, Bottle or Other. Describe the unit if you choose Other; Cover does not convert units.
Set Applies from to the date the cost became valid. The date uses the restaurant’s local calendar and is separate from report dates. A future start date schedules the estimate.
Select Add estimate, then check the item’s history and a report that includes the date.
