Are Additional Expenses used for things such as cost of labor, pans, and other non food items?
Yes! Costing a formula in the program consists of ingredient and additional expense costs such as labor, utilities etc. You create the expense list so it can contain whatever you like. One or more additional expenses are added to the formula and make up the total cost of producing the formula. For example: Create an expense called Labor, Baker with $10.00 as the cost for 1 unit (unit in this case is an hour) . Add the expense to a formula with the number of units required 0.50. (1/2 hour) This will add a labor cost of $5.00 to the cost of producing the formula. Should your Labor, Baker costs change in the future, all you do is update the Additional Expense list and the change will be reflected in all formulas and products where this expense is used. To create a product; use formulas, non food supplies and any additional expenses required to make the product.
