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.
KC-05 1 page
Allergen Matrix and Dish Record
Keep one grid that anybody taking an order can read, instead of a set of recipe cards nobody has time to look through during service.
KC-06 1 page
Goods In Delivery Check Sheet
Record what was checked at the door while the driver is still there, so a short delivery or a warm box is a dated line rather than an argument a week later.
KC-07 1 page
Menu Planning Sheet
Plan the prep against the covers you are actually expecting, and settle who is doing what before service rather than during it.
KC-08 1 page
Stock Rotation and Date Check Sheet
Catch what is coming to the end of its date while there is still time to use it, and leave a dated record that the round was walked.
KC-09 1 page
Catering Event Order Sheet
Hold everything agreed for one event on one document, so the kitchen, the staff and the invoice are all working from the same page.
KC-10 2 pages
Cooked Food Cooling Log
Show that each batch of cooked food came down within your own cooling limits. A batch with no readings is a batch nobody can vouch for, and one that missed a limit needs the action written beside it.
KC-11 1 page
Time as a Public Health Control Log
Keep the discard time of every pan held on time, not temperature, in one place. Nothing then stays out past its time without somebody noticing.
KC-12 1 page
Probe Thermometer Check Log
Catch a probe that has drifted before anyone trusts its readings. The sheet is also the evidence that every probe in the kitchen was checked.
KC-13 1 page
Defrosting and Thawing Record
Make sure nothing goes into the oven still frozen in the middle. Each item gets a line, and the line is not finished until someone has checked it right through.
KC-14 1 page
Sanitiser Concentration Test Log
Know that each bucket, spray bottle and sink was at the strength its label asks for. A solution mixed by eye is a guess; a strip reading is a record.
KC-15 1 page
Commercial Dishwasher and Glasswasher Log
Spot a dish or glass washer that has stopped reaching its own figures on the day it happens. One sheet, front and back, covers a month on one machine.
KC-16 2 pages
Kitchen Canopy and Grease Filter Cleaning Log
Keep grease out of the canopy and ductwork, with every filter wash and duct clean on one sheet. It is the record a fire officer or insurer will ask to see.
KC-17 2 pages
Grease Trap Maintenance Log
Trace a blocked drain back to the last clean-out, with every waste ticket to hand. It is also the record the water authority will ask to see.
KC-18 2 pages
Commercial Fridge Maintenance Log
Keep every fridge and freezer clean and checked to its own manual. A dated record of coil cleans and seal checks also backs up a warranty claim if a unit fails.
KC-19 2 pages
Fryer Oil Filtering and Change Log
Track each fryer's oil from day to day against your own trigger for changing it. It also shows the colour checks that help keep acrylamide down.
KC-20 2 pages
Food Handler Fitness to Work Record
Show that anyone unwell was kept away from food and only came back under your own policy. The sheet records what was reported and decided, and diagnoses nothing.
KC-21 1 page
Food Handler Pre-Shift Hygiene Check
Catch a ring, an uncovered cut or a dirty apron before the shift starts, not mid-service.
KC-22 1 page
Vomit and Diarrhoea Clean-Up Record
Record an unpleasant incident properly while it is fresh. If questions come later, the sheet shows what was closed off, cleaned and thrown away.
KC-23 1 page
Food Safety Four-Weekly Review
Step back every four weeks to spot the problem that keeps coming back. It also confirms the food safety system still fits the menu, suppliers, staff and kit.
KC-24 1 page
Food Complaint Investigation Record
Look for the cause of a food complaint rather than just apologising for it. The changes made afterwards are written down where they can be found.
KC-25 1 page
Fridge or Freezer Breakdown Stock Record
Make a clear decision for every item in a failed fridge or freezer and put it on record. The values column helps if you claim on insurance.
KC-26 1 page
Food Hygiene Inspection Action Plan
Turn an inspection report into a dated plan rather than a worry. The evidence column builds the case for a re-visit as each point is put right.
KC-27 1 page
Handwash Basin Check Sheet
Keep every handwash basin reachable and stocked, so nobody has a reason not to wash.
KC-28 2 pages
Sous Vide Cook and Chill Record
Show that every sous vide batch followed its own written validation. Each reading is taken with a needle probe, not read off the bath's display.
KC-29 2 pages
Vacuum Packing and Seal Check Record
Show that raw and ready-to-eat food stayed on separate machines and every seal was checked. Each label's shelf life is traced back to where it came from.
