Hi there! It is not yet possibly to cost in currencies other than dollar. Our team is working on this for the future!

@@SarahHassler you can just give an option to change currency in settings. Rest all remains same. Thanks

How to add overheads ? Labor cost or some activity charge ?

[@SarahHassler]

Hi Saurin! Some users add an average labor cost to their recipes by adding a custom "ingredient" called Labor and setting an hourly cost. This can get tricky as labor costs do not scale linearly like ingredients do, but it can be effective if you're looking to just get an estimated picture. While we help chefs get a handle on recipe costs in the back office, meez is best at recipe management, especially when cooks are empowered to use the tool in the kitchen!

@@SarahHassler Can we add percentage of cost to the recipe ? For example if ingredients cost 50$ we can just add + 10% extra cost for labor as well as wastage which will eventually get the costing to 55$ ?
