The Costs & Pricing sidebar group is where you set up your menu, calculate what each cup costs you, and decide what to charge.
This is the “what should I sell, and at what price?” half of the manage panel. The other half — checking how you actually did — lives in Pulse.

How P&L works (the short version)

Every coffee shop’s bottom line is a chain of subtractions:
  • Revenue is what comes through the till.
  • COGS (cost of goods sold) is the variable cost of what you sold — milk, beans, cups. It goes up when you sell more.
  • Fixed costs are rent, wages, utilities, internet — they don’t move when you sell more cups.
  • Net margin is what’s left, expressed as a % of revenue. Healthy small coffee shops in Malaysia aim for 10–20% net margin.
Costs & Pricing is where you fill in the inputs:
  • Items + Recipes give you per-cup COGS.
  • Calculator combines that COGS with your fixed costs and target margin to suggest per-cup prices and a monthly revenue target.
Pulse is where actual revenue, expenses, and margin come in through the month — you watch them against the targets you set here.

Setup walkthrough

If you’re starting fresh, do these in order. Each step takes 5–15 minutes.
1

Add your raw materials

Open Items. Add each ingredient you buy — beans, milk, cups, syrups. Pack size, pack price, yield %. Items power per-cup COGS.
2

Build your menu

Open Recipes. One recipe per sellable drink. Each line is {Item, quantity}; the app sums to give you per-cup COGS plus a Quick price suggestion. Build your top sellers first — you don’t have to map every drink on day one.
3

Run the full P&L for this month

Open Calculator. Fill in monthly volume, monthly costs (rent, wages, utilities), and target margin. The Calculator combines those with your recipes’ COGS to give per-cup suggested prices and a monthly revenue target. This is where P&L actually happens.
4

(Optional) Map Loyverse variants

If you’re connected to Loyverse POS, open Loyverse Items and map your POS variants to recipes. This unlocks per-recipe sales analytics on the Recipes index. Skip if you don’t use Loyverse — everything else still works.
After this, head to Pulse — the targets you just set are tracked against actuals through the month.
