Recipe management
Document recipes with ingredients and standard portion sizes so every cook plates the same dish.
Food & beverage · Academy
What this section is
Recipes link menu dishes to ingredients and yields. They support training, consistent taste, and later food costing. Without recipes, every shift invents portions and food cost drifts.
In the owner dashboard
Open Recipe management under Listing / Property after you claim a stay. Same vocabulary as Help Academy.

Do this
Step-by-step
-
Open Recipes
Food & beverage → Kitchen & bar → Recipes. Create or open a dish recipe.
India example: Butter chicken · 1 kg yield. -
Add ingredients and portions
List raw materials with quantities (chicken 600g, butter, tomato, cream…). Note prep steps briefly if the screen allows.
India example: Chicken 600g + gravy components · portion 250g plated. -
Train and enforce
Show cooks the recipe card. Spot-check plate weight during service. Update recipe when the menu recipe changes.
India example: New cook shadows one service with recipe open.
Tips
Match recipe names to Menu item names so costing can join later. · Yield matters — write finished kg/litres, not only raw weight.
Common mistakes
Keeping recipes only in the chef’s head — holiday leave breaks consistency.
Staff training
Detailed examples
Full India-hotel scenarios — same structure as Help Academy. Follow on the live screen with your team.
Example 1: Write Butter chicken recipe for a new cook
Setting
New line cook starts tomorrow · dish must taste the same.
Who is involved
Chef
Recipes beat “watch me once”. Portions protect food cost.
