  Parameters:

• get_recipe_prep_sheet read-only

  Get a printable-style prep sheet for one PrepSheet starter recipe, scaled to a number of covers (portions): every ingredient quantity scaled, the method, and the costing (batch cost, cost per portion, suggested menu price ex and inc 20% VAT). Example: slug 'cottage-pie', covers 80.

  Parameters:

  • slug (required) — string — Recipe slug from list_starter_recipes, e.g. 'cottage-pie'.

• get_starter_menu read-only

  Get PrepSheet's ready-costed starter menu for a UK venue type. With no venue, lists the venue types (pub, cafe, restaurant, takeaway) and their dishes. With a venue, returns every dish with its menu price, ingredient cost per portion, food cost % and GP % (prices ex-VAT, plus inc 20% VAT).

  Parameters:

  • venue — string — One of pub, cafe, restaurant, takeaway. Omit to list the venue types.

• cost_recipe read-only

  Cost any recipe from its ingredients. For each ingredient give the pack price, the pack size and the quantity used (same unit as the pack size, e.g. grams). Returns each line cost, batch cost, cost per portion and a suggested menu price from a target food cost % (default 30%), ex-VAT and inc-VAT. open_in_prepsheet_url opens this exact recipe in the free PrepSheet tool (no sign-in), where the user can edit, scale, print and save it; the recipe travels in the link itself and is not stored by PrepSheet.

  Parameters:

  • portions (required) — integer — How many portions the batch makes.
  • ingredients (required) — array
  • recipe_name — string — Optional dish name.
  • vat_rate_pct — number — VAT rate for the inc-VAT price. Default 20 (UK standard).
  • target_food_cost_pct — number — Target food cost as % of the ex-VAT price. Default 30.

  UK gross profit (GP) calculator for food and drink. mode 'gp_from_price': give cost_ex_vat and selling_price_inc_vat to get GP % and GP per sale (VAT is removed first, as UK hospitality measures it). mode 'price_from_gp': give cost_ex_vat and target_gp_pct to get the menu price needed.

  Parameters:

  • mode (required) — string — gp_from_price or price_from_gp.
  • cost_ex_vat (required) — number — Cost of one item/portion, ex-VAT.

  Parameters:

  • items (required) — array
  • title — string — Optional title, e.g. 'Friday larder'.
