Recipe Costing for Bakeries

Most bakery costing lives in a spreadsheet someone built years ago that everyone's now too scared to touch. Soupa replaces it with something built for the job: cost a dough or filling once as a prep recipe, reuse it in every bake it goes into, and let the cost update itself when flour or butter prices move. Add a batch multiplier to see a recipe at double, half, or a custom size without re-typing a single ingredient. It won't run your stocktake or your rosters. It just makes sure you know what a loaf actually costs.

Preps that behave like preps Build a dough or filling once and reuse it in every finished bake. Soupa carries the cost through automatically, and stops you if you accidentally try to nest a prep inside itself.

One conversion, set once Tell Soupa a 25kg sack of flour converts to grams and every recipe using that flour is priced correctly from then on. No recalculating by hand for the next bake.

A multiplier, not mental maths Add 2×, 3×, or a custom batch size to a recipe card and see the scaled quantities sitting right next to the original.

Questions bakery owners actually ask

Can I build a filling once and use it across five different bakes?

That's what a prep recipe is for. Cost the filling once, link it into as many dish recipes as you like, and if you ever change the filling's own ingredients, everything using it recalculates too.

What happens when my flour or butter supplier puts prices up?

Update the ingredient price in one place. Every recipe that uses it, directly or through a prep, picks up the new cost the next time you open it.

Can it handle a much bigger batch than usual?

Add a custom multiplier to any recipe card, whatever size the order calls for, and see the scaled ingredient list next to the original.
