Recipe costs on the cards

What was asked for

Once recipes could be linked to inventory, what a recipe cost could only be seen by opening it, one recipe at a time. The ask was to see the costs from the recipe list itself, and to make the recipes still waiting for links or prices easy to find.

What the cards show

For owners and admins, each size on a recipe card now carries its cost beside its name, like Medium · $0.77. When a linked ingredient has no price yet, the size shows the least it costs, and one quiet line at the foot of the card names what is still to cost. The recipe itself still says why and where to fix it.

A recipe that makes something you use in other recipes, like a shot of espresso or a syrup made in house, says what one of it costs under its name. Workers see the cards as before, without any costs.

Finding the recipes left to cost

Two filters sit under the search. Costs to finish lists the recipes with a linked ingredient that has no cost yet. Not linked yet lists the recipes with nothing linked to inventory at all. Each one shows how many recipes it would list within your search, and it stays out of the way when there is nothing left to do.

Steps on the cards

The steps on a card now stop after three lines. The card is a quick reference, and a long method used to push the ingredients a long way down. Opening the recipe shows every step, as it always has.

Smaller changes

Owners and admins can ask the assistant what a recipe costs, or which recipes still need a link or a price, and it answers from the same numbers as the cards. A price for something made in house now reads per shot rather than per shots. A new unit added to an item from the recipe editor shows up in the costs straight away.
