Recipe Costing Sheet
Work out what a dish actually costs to make as you make it, including the trimmings, so a price is set from a figure rather than a feeling.

Kitchen and catering
Records for a working kitchen — what a dish costs, what was made from which batch, what was checked, cleaned and thrown away.
No temperature, time, shelf life, cleaning product or dilution is printed on any sheet in this category. Food safety limits come from the rules where you are and from your own documented process, and cleaning methods come from the manufacturer of the product you actually use. A printed number here would be the most dangerous thing this site could offer a kitchen. These sheets record what you did against limits you write in yourself.
Sheets in Kitchen and catering
Batch Production Record
Record the batch codes going in and the destinations going out, so a recall or a complaint can be traced to one day's production rather than all of it.
KC-02 1 page
Food Temperature Record
Record temperature checks through the day against the limits in your own documented process, with the corrective action recorded beside the failure.
KC-03 1 page
Kitchen Cleaning Rota
Set out who cleans what and how often, with initials against each day so the rota is a record rather than an intention.
KC-04 1 page
Kitchen Wastage Sheet
Record what gets thrown away and why, which is usually the fastest way to find where a kitchen's margin is going.

One new sheet, most weeks
We are building this library out steadily. Leave an address and we will send the new sheets as they are finished — nothing else, and no more than one email a week.
Sign-up is not live yet — we have not connected an email provider, so this form is switched off rather than quietly collecting addresses.
