For restaurant owners, bake shops, caterers, manufacturers of food products, chefs, and even home cooks. With Salt & Pepper, you can:

Create recipes with an ingredient list, procedure, yield, preparation time, notes, and photos/videos. Choose your recipe ingredients from your dynamically-filtered master ingredient list, then select various preparations (such as "finely-diced" or "sautéed"), from a pick-list of over 40 options.

Enter costs for each ingredient in your recipe, and Salt & Pepper will display the total cost of the recipe, and the cost per serving. Set a recipes selling price, and Salt & Pepper will calculate the mark-up and profit information. You can also add "other costs" to your recipes, which can be a percentage of the total ingredient cost, or based on quantity, such as per serving, per batch, or per unit."

Use the Suppliers screen to create, edit, and delete ingredients. Changes made to an ingredients name, price, allergens, food energy, density, or usable portion are applied to all recipes containing that ingredient. You can organize your ingredients by supplier, and further by category.

Record your inventory, and set minimum values. Salt & Pepper will calculate the monetary value of each stock item, and the total value of your entire inventory.

Scale your recipes up or down, or to a desired yield. The amount and cost of each ingredient, and the total cost of the recipe, are adjusted accordingly.

Separate a recipes ingredients into multiple sections, such as "For the Cake", "For the Frosting", and "For the Ganache". Re-order your ingredients and preparation steps by dragging them.

Use one recipe as an ingredient in another recipe. When "Recipe A" is used as an ingredient in "Recipe B", the cost, allergens, and food energy of "Recipe A" become part of "Recipe B" (based on the quantity used).

Duplicate recipes, in order to experiment with multiple variations.

Track the expiration dates of your ingredients. If you choose, Salt & Pepper will notify you before your ingredients expire.

Enter densities for your ingredients. Densities allow the calculation of a recipes cost or calories when an ingredient is purchased by weight, but the recipe measurement is in volume.

Manage shopping lists. You can add ingredients to your shopping lists directly from your recipes. Quantities from multiple recipes are automatically summed. You can arrange your stores aisles to match the physical stores at which you shop, and you can arrange your ingredients in the order that they appear on the actual store shelves.

Create notes, with checklists, photos/videos, and a due date (with alarm).

Create custom categories for filing your recipes and notes. A recipe or note can belong to multiple categories. For meal planning, custom recipe categories can serve as menus, such as "Rehearsal Dinner Menu". You can also create "outlets" to further categorize items based on location. For instance, if you operate a number of restaurants, you could create a separate outlet for each.

Link your recipes and notes to related recipes and notes.

Share individual recipes, suppliers, shopping lists, and notes with co-workers, family, and friends. When changes are made to a shared item, everyone receives the changes. You can also set "abilities" for each user. For instance, you can specify whether a particular user is allowed to view or edit ingredient costs.

Print your recipes, suppliers, shopping lists, and notes.

E-mail recipes and notes. You can send them in PDF format, and as Salt & Pepper data files, which the recipient can import into Salt & Pepper.

Use the Conversions screen to convert units of weight, volume, and temperature, and to perform price comparisons.

Sync your recipes, suppliers, shopping lists, and notes between all of your iOS devices.

Latest reviews of Salt & Pepper app for iPhone and iPad

Great tool for cost calculations of recipes!
So excited to find this tool! I bake cakes out of my home on the side and have been looking for an app that I could see what my actual costs are for different cake recipes and buttercream. THIS APP IS THE BOMB!!! Works great on my ipad and syncs to my iPhone thru the cloud so when I am shopping I can adjust the cost of the item based on current prices. Love this thank you!!!!
Needs a calorie calculator too.
So far easy to use. I Ike that you can add picture. I thought it calculated calories too. But it does not. So likely I will not continue to use it. I need a calculator that also calculates nutritional value. It would be silly to enter a recipe here then enter it into another calculator for nutritional value. Please add calorie calculator! Since you already add price calculator it cant be that difficult to add this. Thanks!
Great app
This is an excellent app with lots of useful features, and is extremely reasonably priced for those features. My one complaint is that you have to scroll and choose a number to be entered, rather than just being able to enter it with the keyboard. If it werent for this, I would give it five stars.
Great App
I recommend this program. The support area is great
4.9999 star
This is a great app, especially since I have just started my catering business. I like it so much that I paid for the full version. There is one option I would like to see in a future update. When tapping on an item from the recipe screen to add it to my shopping list, it would be nice to add the quantity from that recipe (for example, 5 apples) so when at the store, I dont have to go back into the recipe to see how much I need to buy. Also, if I have two different recipes where Ive added apples to my shopping list (one requires 5 and the other requires 2) it would be helpful for it to recognize the same ingredient and just add 2 to the number of apples I need. Thanks for an AWESOME app!
