Marking a recipe as incomplete

 

Resort Bistro allows you to flag a recipe as 'incomplete'.  This is mainly used when you are in a hurry to enter a recipe (usually because you are using the recipe within another recipe or menu).  Any recipe that is incomplete can be tagged to let you know that more work is needed on the selected recipe, so you may go back at a later date to complete the details.  

 

NOTE:  When using an incomplete recipe within another recipe or menu, accurate food costs will not be obtained if there are no costs associated with the recipe.

 

 

Keywords

 

Resort Bistro lets you associate various keywords with recipes.  Similar to categories, each recipe can be assigned to zero or more keywords.  You can use keyword associations to 'drill-down' into your recipe collection when selecting recipes to display in the Recipe Form.
