Food Cost
Total cost of Recipe Components (Ingredients' prices and Subrecipe cost)

Calculate Recipe cost
Fillet uses Price information from the Recipe’s Components to calculate cost.
Recipe Components are Ingredients and Recipes (Subrecipes) used in a Recipe.
If Fillet cannot calculate cost for a Recipe, you will see error messages.
Each error message has an explanation and options for resolving the error.
Error messages

| Subrecipe does not have Food Cost because of its own costing errors | Tap “Resolve” to see the Subrecipe and resolve the errors there. | 
| Ingredient or a Subrecipe using an incompatible unit in Recipe | Specify conversion, select different price, or change unit to compatible unit. |
