Recipe Creation Made Easier in the Latest CALCMENU
5/12/2008
-
EGS developed an easier way of creating recipes in CALCMENU Chef/Pro/Enterprise and Web. The Advanced Fast Recipe Encoding feature is now available in the latest version. This is an additional tool to facilitate recipe encoding. This feature allows you to create recipes with less time. Before, you need to use existing merchandise in the Merchandise List as recipe ingredients. Now, you can cut and paste recipes from sources such as Web sites and other electronic documents and insert the information in CALCMENU in just a few clicks. You can type the recipe in Text format (just as you would type in MS Word) and save it that way. If you need to calculate the food cost, nutrient values, or create a shopping list, you then need to link the ingredients to the Merchandise List.
