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 Performance.
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.
- Items + Recipes give you per-cup COGS.
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.
