Tips
- The "Required Ingredients" section is the fastest way to see how much raw material to issue to produce a given number of servings.
- Turn on "Show profit" to evaluate revenue and margin at the current retail price.
- If the dish has no active calculation, the report shows "The selected item has no calculations".
