Birch Street's Food Cost Control [Recipe] module simplifies one of the most mission critical functions of a hotel chain. Previously a manually-intensive and inefficient process, Recipe management fully integrated with a comprehensive procurement package is now a reality. Birch Street empowers a hotel chain to determine profitability of menu items and restaurants and ensure uniform quality of menu items across a global chain of properties. The Recipe module offers a series of features that automate processes and bolster efficiency including recalculation of recipes for large banquets, substitution of seasonal products using 'What if?' scenarios and automatic system updates to catalog item prices. Birch Street's comprehensive report gallery helps the back office to determine profitability of menu items by property and calculates Cost of Goods Sold (COGS).

The food cost [recipe] module contains the following additional features:

	Updates non-catalog item prices automatically
	Convert recipes from US standard to metric
	Step and preparation instructions
	Activate, deactivate and share recipes across entire portfolio
	Maintain nutritional and dietary information
