What it is

Yield Recipe Manager is a web tool for food businesses that need to scale recipes, track ingredient inventory, and calculate production costs. Its inventory database records ingredient costs, suppliers, and purchase details. Recipes are built from inventory ingredients, with costs calculated as they are created. Yield says calculations include ingredients, labor, packaging, waste factors, and profit margins, and that ingredient prices are tracked in real time to help identify cost-saving opportunities. Recipes can be scaled to different yields, with metric and imperial measurements and conversions. The maker names food trucks, bakeries, cafes, restaurants, home-based food businesses, and meal-prep services as intended users. The Free plan costs nothing, billed forever, and allows up to 5 recipes, 20 ingredients, and 3 suppliers. Pro costs $20 a month and includes unlimited recipes, ingredients, and suppliers. Recipes currently have to be entered manually; recipe import is in development. Team collaboration and multi-user access are not currently available. The maker says it typically responds to email support within 24 hours and does not offer refunds.
