Central kitchens and commissaries can evaluate MenuCosting against the recipe, material and branch handoffs they need. Galley and MenuCosting both deserve evaluation against the production records your team actually uses.

Follow one batch from the recipe to the branch
Galley describes connected recipe, costing and production workflows for multi-unit foodservice. The right demonstration follows a real batch, output unit and destination.
We maintain recipe and supplier-cost records and review the exceptions with your operators. In MenuCosting, your team can plan daily or weekly production, compare ingredient requirements with stock and incoming deliveries, and review purchase-order drafts. Configured internal branch ordering, dispatch and reception support the handoff between your own locations.
For a concrete check, use our illustrative central-kitchen example: six batches need 18 kg of butter; 16 kg is available in time, leaving a 2 kg gap. A 5 kg supplier pack changes the order value and remaining stock. The example is illustrative. Your operators confirm the records and run production and dispatch.

Bring these questions to the conversation
- Does the recipe output unit match how the kitchen produces and the branch receives it?
- How are on-time and late incoming deliveries separated when the kitchen reviews a shortage?
- Which steps are performed by your team, by a provider, or by software after your approval?
