Cost recipes in the currency you actually pay in

Why Multi-Currency Recipe Costing?

Recipe costing tools built around a single global currency force an awkward choice on any kitchen that doesn't transact in that currency: either force every price into a number that doesn't match what actually appears on an invoice, or give up on the underlying math entirely. This gets harder the moment a business runs more than one kitchen, especially across borders, where a hotel group's outlets may each transact in a different currency but still answer to the same head office.

Cucinovo lets every organization set its own currency, chosen from 17 supported currencies including the Euro, US Dollar, British Pound, and Swiss Franc (the FAQ below lists all 17). Ingredient prices, recipe costs, food cost percentage, and menu prices are all expressed in that currency, with no conversion step in the way. A hotel group with outlets in different countries gives each outlet its own currency: the number on screen is always the number that would appear on that kitchen's own invoice.

For a group overseeing several outlets, the corporate dashboard rolls up food cost percentage and recipe and ingredient counts across every outlet it manages, and a percentage means the same thing regardless of which currency produced it, so the rollup never needs an exchange rate. What Cucinovo does not do is convert between currencies: if a shopping list, prep list, or event ends up with ingredients priced in more than one currency, the mismatched line is flagged instead of being summed at a guessed rate, so a wrong number is never presented as a real one.
