Synthetic ten-dish setup report

Scope of this report: ten costed recipes, their measured batch yields, a summary of cost per serving and food cost %, and the price and quantity inputs used. The paid setup also includes entry in your DishCost account by an agreed method, a 20-minute handover, and one correction round for the agreed ten recipes.

Read these assumptions first

All amounts are in USD. Menu prices exclude sales tax.
Each batch yields ten measured saleable servings. Meat, rice, and pasta quantities are recorded before cooking. Chickpea purchase quantities use drained weight.
The recipe quantities include the ingredients consumed by the batch. Do not add a second yield adjustment to these sample quantities. For a real setup, trim loss, cooking loss, portion size, and prep-item yields must be supplied and checked.
Prepared sauces, pesto, stock, gravy, and dough balls are purchased ingredients in this example, not uncosted homemade prep items.
The report uses ingredient cost only. Labor, rent, utilities, payment fees, delivery fees, and other overhead are excluded. Ingredient contribution is not net profit.
No sales volumes are supplied, so this report does not rank popularity or predict revenue.

Line cost = batch quantity ÷ purchase quantity × purchase price.
Cost per serving = batch ingredient cost ÷ measured servings.
Food cost % = cost per serving ÷ menu price × 100.
Ingredient contribution = menu price − ingredient cost per serving.

Calculations use unrounded values. Displayed dollars are rounded to cents; percentages are rounded to one decimal place.

Handover and correction checklist

Check each pack size and price against the supplied price list.
Check recipe quantities, measured yields, portions, and menu prices with the owner.
Show how to change one ingredient price and inspect the recipes that use it.
Record any missing price or unconfirmed yield instead of guessing.
Use the single correction round for errors in the agreed ten recipes. New dishes, recipe redesign, and continuing price-entry work are outside this setup.
