Do I need to enter GP targets per product?

Set a venue GP target and override it on individual recipes where needed. Recipes with a complete cost and a GP below their target appear for review.

Does GP reporting include VAT?

Recipe GP uses the costs and selling prices entered. Use a consistent tax basis when comparing margins; StockLens does not turn this into a VAT return or a full profit-and-loss account.

GP Reporting

StockLens helps you review the margin in your menu. Recipe costs use recorded product costs, quantities and unit conversions. A recipe with incomplete costs has no usable GP until those issues are resolved. Recipe GP is not net profit.

How GP is calculated

Recipe GP compares the selling price you enter with the cost of ingredients per serve, including configured yield and waste. Check product purchase units, pack sizes and costs before relying on the result.

Catching margin erosion early

Review recorded product cost increases and recipes below their configured GP target. Follow each issue to the product or recipe, then decide whether to adjust a price, portion or purchasing choice.

Review one venue at a time

Choose a venue to review its menu and currency. The dashboard average is an unweighted average of fully costed, priced recipes; it is not a sales-weighted margin or a financial accounts report.
