Ingredient Library
Build and maintain your ingredient cost library
Store supplier pack details, calculate cost per unit, organize ingredients by category, and keep recipe and batch pricing connected to saved ingredient data.
How Ingredient Library works
Ingredient Library is one of the main foundations of the web workspace. It gives you one place to create, organize, update, search, filter, export, and maintain saved ingredient records. These records are used across recipes, prep batches, inventory, and other connected costing workflows. It also supports ingredient import, custom categories, usage tracking, and pricing refreshes when ingredient costs change.
Saved ingredient records
Create ingredient records with the ingredient name, supplier name, category, pack amount, unit, total paid, and calculated cost per unit. This lets the same cost data be reused throughout the system.
Search, filter, sort, and bulk management
Review your ingredient library from one place. Search by ingredient, supplier, category, or unit. Filter records, sort results, bulk edit selected items, and bulk delete when needed.
Pricing updates that carry forward
When an ingredient record is updated, dependent saved recipe and batch pricing can be recalculated so total cost and related pricing fields stay more current.
Cost per unit calculation
Each ingredient record stores the pricing details behind the item and calculates cost per unit from total paid and amount, giving recipes and prep batches cleaner cost data to build from.
Usage visibility across recipes and batches
See how often each ingredient is referenced in saved recipes and prep batches, giving you better visibility into which records are actively being used across your costing workflow.
Shared use across the workspace
Ingredient Library acts as shared ingredient master data for the workspace. It supports recipes, prep batches, inventory entry, import and export flows, and connected costing workflows from one saved ingredient source.
Categories and compatible units
Organize ingredients with built-in categories and configurable custom category slots, while keeping units compatible with each ingredient type when creating or editing records.
Import and export support
Export the ingredient library to Excel and launch the ingredient import workflow from the same area to build or maintain records more efficiently.
Ingredient Library is more than a place to store ingredients. It is the saved ingredient cost foundation behind recipes, prep batches, inventory entry, pricing maintenance, and connected workflow across the platform.
