1. Costs that follow your data
From Mise Essential: preparation sheets, supplier prices, ingredient losses and nested intermediate preparations. Updating a price changes dependent costs.

From supplier prices to the food cost of your business
A new purchase price changes theoretical production cost. COGS needs period-level data instead. This case matches the Spanish version so the team can compare numbers with the same units and assumptions.
Business management from costing to purchasing, inventory and profit & loss, depending on plan. Miselup is not a POS, payroll or fiscal invoicing system.

Bilingual team: 40 portions and a new supplier price
Illustrative values dated October 30, 2026, not market benchmarks. All selling prices exclude taxes.
Local currency describes this exercise, not the subscription charge. Enter your own measured prices and yields.
| Input | Useful quantity | Purchase price / unit | Yield % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Useful ingredientkg | |||
| Secondary ingredientkg | |||
| Containersunit |
Use finite nonnegative quantities and prices, yield above 0 and up to 100, positive whole portions and a positive selling price.
Batch cost$150.00
Cost per portion$3.75
Theoretical food cost25.00 %
Formula: useful quantity × purchase price ÷ (yield / 100). Divide total by effective portions; divide portion cost by pre-tax selling price for food cost. Labor, energy, logistics and fixed costs are excluded. This is not net profit or period COGS.
Read the result before making a decision
This worksheet explicitly uses kilograms. Convert invoices in pounds first: 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg. Do not combine a price per pound with a quantity in kilograms. The worked resource includes both units; it does not claim the app converts every invoice automatically.
One business, connected decisions

From Mise Pro: management P&L and profitability to put ingredient cost alongside sales and expenses. Operational visibility does not replace fiscal accounting.
Terms your team can share
- Yield
- The useful share of a purchase after losses.
- COGS
- Cost of goods sold for a period; a theoretical recipe alone is not enough.
- Prep / preparación previa
- Work before service; FOH and BOH distinguish guest service and production.
Food safety: know the scope
The FDA Food Code is a model adopted by jurisdictions. The nine major federal food allergens are not identical to the EU’s fourteen groups. Ingredient calculations cannot demonstrate the absence of cross-contact.
Mise Pro supports temperatures, deviations, corrective actions and traceability. Mise Pro HACCP adds prerequisite and process records and a draft plan for the business to review and sign.
Outside Spain, records use Codex and operator criteria. There is no validated national regulatory adaptation or certification. Ingredient allergen calculations cannot certify absence of cross-contact.

Questions from the business
Is theoretical recipe food cost the same as COGS?
No. The recipe estimates preparation cost. Period COGS uses opening inventory, purchases and closing inventory with a consistent valuation method.
Which Food Code applies to my business?
Check the jurisdiction and adopted edition. The FDA Food Code is a model for adoption, not one nationwide restaurant law.
Does Miselup replace my POS or payroll?
No. It manages costs and operations; it is not a POS, payroll system or a built POS integration.
