Scaling a Recipe

1. Click Production, and then click Recipe.
2. Use the filters to narrow your search, click the Recipe Name to open it, and then click Scale Recipe.
3. In the Scale Recipes dialog box, enter the New Number of Portions, select one of the following scaling methods, and then click OK.

   • QTY of Ingredients: Select this option to increase or decrease the recipe size. This is useful for items that are usually made individually, but can also be made in bulk. For example, you have a regular menu that has a baked ziti entree, but also has a catering menu that can provide the same baked ziti in a larger quantity.

   • Only Number of Portions: Select Only Number of Portions for Items that are embedded in other Recipes. For example, mashed potatoes and gravy is a possible side dish for 5 different meat and potatoes entrees. The mashed potatoes and gravy are made in bulk, but are served in portions as ordered. Therefore, only a portion of the whole is provided for each.

   • Only Portion Size: Select Only Portion Size if you wish to increase the size of your portions but do not want to increase the quantity of your Ingredients. For example, you have a banana cream pie that, when sliced, creates 8 servings. You want to increase the size of your slices and slice the pie into 6 slices. Therefore, you would enter 6 in the New Number Portion field and the 1 pie would yield 6 servings.
