Recipes that know what is on your shelf
Make a batch from a recipe and have the stock move on its own. Recipes can now be linked to your items and costed, and making a batch is next to decide.
October 1, 2026
What was asked for
Link every ingredient to the item it actually is, so "White Chocolate" on a recipe and "White Chocolate Sauce" on the shelf stop being two unrelated pieces of text. Then give the Inventory page a way to make something from a recipe: it takes the inputs out of stock and puts the finished thing in, in one action, instead of you adjusting each line by hand and hoping the arithmetic held.
What has shipped
The first half shipped in 1.33.0. A recipe line can be linked to an inventory item, a syrup made ahead can say which item it makes, and owners and admins see what each size of a recipe costs, priced from the invoices already captured. The entry called What a recipe costs has the details.
What is still to build
Making a batch needs a new kind of stock movement, because stock today can only be counted, moved, adjusted or restocked. It also needs an answer to what happens when a batch is made with less on the shelf than the recipe calls for: refuse it, which is honest and can stop a real batch from being recorded, or record it and flag the shortfall, which is how kitchens actually run. That decision comes before the build.

Everything on this page started with somebody saying something was awkward. Questions count, and so does telling us a thing is harder than it should be.
