Your margin is decided in the kitchen, not at the till
Recipes that re-cost themselves when an ingredient price moves, production orders that consume real stock, and wastage you can finally see.

Recipes and BOMs
Multi-level recipes with sub-recipes, yields and preparation loss. A sauce is a product and an ingredient at the same time.
Live cost per unit
When the price of flour moves, every product containing it re-costs - and your margin alerts fire before you sell at a loss.
Wastage in the open
Record spoilage, trim, breakage and staff meals with reasons, so the gap between theoretical and actual usage has an explanation.
From ingredients to items
Define what goes into a product and how much of it survives the process. SumPOS handles yield percentages, preparation loss, sub-recipes nested several levels deep, and by-products. Selling a finished item draws down its components - or its stock, if you produce in batches ahead of time.
- Multi-level bills of materials and sub-recipes
- Yield and preparation-loss factors
- Unit conversion between purchase, storage and recipe units
- Batch production with expiry on the output
- By-products and co-products
- Assembly and disassembly (kitting and breaking bulk)
Production orders that consume real stock
Plan a run, check ingredient availability, issue materials, record actual output and record the difference. Theoretical versus actual consumption is the single most useful number in a kitchen or a small factory, and SumPOS puts it on one screen.
- Production planning against sales forecast
- Material availability check before release
- Issue, output and return-to-store steps
- Theoretical vs actual variance reporting
- Labour and overhead absorption per run
- Quality-check hold and release
Central kitchen dispatch
Produce centrally and distribute to outlets with transfer documents, batch traceability and outlet-level pricing. If a batch has to be recalled, SumPOS can tell you exactly which outlets received it and which sales it went into.

Production, Recipes & Assembly - the usual questions
Still unsure about something? Ask us directly - a person answers, usually the same day.
No. The same engine serves bakeries, coffee roasters, garment assembly, cosmetics repacking, hardware kitting and light manufacturing. Anything where you combine inputs into an output benefits from recipe costing.
