How to multiply your recipe

How do I multiply my recipe?

Scaling is anchored to portions. If a recipe makes 4 portions and you need 100 for a function, scale it to 100 — the multiplier (×25) is worked out for you.

  1. Open the recipe and click Multiply this Recipe.
  2. Enter how many portions you want to make.
  3. Every ingredient quantity — and the batch cost — recalculates for the new size, with the per-portion figures unchanged.
  4. Need to order for it? Click Add to cart and the scaled quantities go into a supplier order.

Planning a normal service day rather than a one-off function? Preparation Lists do this across the whole day's dishes at once — including counting what you already have and ordering only the gap.
