How to organize recipes without spreadsheets

Spreadsheets break in three predictable places.

Spreadsheets are a great first tool. They start to break when:

  • An ingredient appears in twenty places. Update it in one, miss the other nineteen.
  • A prep recipe (sauce, dough) is used by many dishes. Its cost lives outside the dishes.
  • A staff member needs the recipe but not the cost. There's no clean way to share one without the other.
  • A purpose-built workspace makes ingredients first-class, prep recipes reusable, and lets you share Recipe Cards without revealing margins.

    Try it on your own menu.
