Set It Right: Defining Serving Sizes in Your Recipes

Managing serving sizes isn’t just about accuracy — it’s about flexibility.

Here’s how to control serving sizes of recipes in Menutech:

🍽️ Option 1: Change the Quantity Inside the Recipe

You can update the serving size directly in the table of ingredients:

When you change the number of servings, you’ll get two options:
- Recalculate ingredients to scale the recipe
- Don’t recalculate if you only want to adjust the serving label

This is ideal when adapting a recipe for smaller or larger groups during testing or production.

Want to print the recipe sheet for a specific number of servings without changing the saved recipe?

Go to the recipe sheet export
Set any custom serving quantity (e.g. 31 seatings)
The recipe stays saved at its original base (e.g. 10 servings), but the export reflects your chosen number

Perfect for one-off events or daily adjustments.

Ingredient quantities automatically adjust units based on the output amount:

Start with grams, and Menutech may switch to kilograms when the scaled total reaches a certain threshold
Same applies to ml → l, or tsp → tbsp → cups for US units
