Define and manage recipes, formulations, and bills of materials. Track ingredient costs in real time, manage substitutions, calculate nutritional information, and ensure consistency across production runs and restaurant locations.
From ingredient specification to finished product costing — manage every aspect of your recipes and bills of materials.
Create detailed recipes with step-by-step instructions, ingredient lists, preparation methods, cooking temperatures, and timing. Support for recipe versioning, seasonal variations, and location-specific adaptations.
Define multi-level bills of materials for manufactured products, kits, and assemblies. Track sub-components, packaging materials, and labor requirements. BOM costing rolls up automatically as ingredient prices change.
Real-time ingredient cost tracking based on actual purchase prices. Cost-per-serving calculations update automatically. Margin analysis at the recipe level helps you price products profitably.
Track yield percentages for every recipe and production run. Compare theoretical vs. actual yield to identify waste and optimization opportunities. Yield-adjusted costing for accurate product pricing.
Scale recipes up or down for any batch size with automatic ingredient quantity recalculation. Support for non-linear scaling where certain ingredients do not scale proportionally.
Calculate nutritional values (calories, macros, vitamins, minerals) from ingredient databases. Generate nutrition labels compliant with FDA, EU, and local regulations. Support for per-serving and per-package labeling.
Identify and track allergens at the ingredient level. Automatic allergen flagging when recipes contain or may contain common allergens. Allergen declaration support for menus, packaging, and regulatory compliance.
Define approved substitutions for every ingredient with conversion ratios, cost differentials, and quality notes. When an ingredient is unavailable, Composer suggests alternatives and recalculates cost and nutrition.
Whether you are manufacturing food products, running restaurant kitchens, or assembling kits — Composer manages your formulations.
Composer is the bridge between what you make and what you need. Recipes drive inventory, purchasing, POS, and pricing.
Recipe ingredient consumption drives real-time inventory deductions. Low-stock ingredients trigger reorder alerts.
Production plans generate ingredient purchase requirements. Supplier specifications link to recipe ingredients.
Menu item sales deduct ingredients per recipe. 86'd items alert when ingredient stock runs out.
Recipe cost changes flow to pricing for margin-aware price adjustments. Cost-plus pricing updates automatically.
Autonomous assistants that monitor costs, optimize formulations, and plan production.
Monitors recipe costs as ingredient prices change and flags recipes that have crossed margin thresholds. Suggests ingredient substitutions to maintain margins. Analyzes recipe performance and identifies opportunities for standardization across locations.
Translates demand forecasts into production plans and ingredient requirements. Optimizes batch sizes based on capacity, shelf life, and demand. Schedules production runs to minimize changeover time and maximize equipment utilization.
CW Composer delivers consistency, compliance, and cost savings across your recipes and production.
Real-time ingredient costing, yield optimization, and waste tracking identify savings opportunities across every recipe and production run.
Standardized recipes with precise specifications ensure every batch, every location, and every cook produces the same quality product.
Know the exact cost of every product as ingredient prices change. No more waiting for month-end to discover margin erosion.
Automatic allergen tracking, nutritional labeling, and ingredient traceability meet FDA, EU, and local food safety regulations.
Recipe versioning, trial batch tracking, and cost modeling accelerate the journey from concept to production-ready product.
Production plans automatically check ingredient availability. You know before you start a batch if every ingredient is in stock.
