Learn how to generate a Standardized recipe PDF in PocketChef
The Standardized recipe is a PDF with the full recipe: photo, times, yield, steps with method, ingredients, appliances, base recipes, and a summary of costs and price. Use it to print, archive, or share with your team.

What it is for

Before you generate

  1. Register the recipe with steps, ingredients, and method (see Recipes and Products).
  2. Check supplies, appliances, and profile costs — they feed the PDF values.
  3. Ideally, finish pricing first: the PDF includes markup, COGS, and the Final price of the product.
Without a registered recipe there is no sheet. Without up-to-date prices and costs, the PDF will be incomplete or outdated.

How to generate (from the list menu)

  1. Open the side menu → Kitchen → Recipes and Products.
  2. Find the product (tab Products or Base recipes).
  3. Tap the options menu (⋮) on the item.
  4. Choose Standardized recipe.
  5. The app opens Pricing and Standardized recipe and starts sharing the PDF automatically.

How to generate (from the pricing screen)

  1. On the list, open the menu (⋮) and tap Pricing (or use the shortcut above).
  2. On Pricing and Standardized recipe, tap the PDF icon at the top (tooltip Standardized recipe).
  3. Choose where to save or share the file.
The file name is the recipe title plus .pdf (for example, Chocolate cake.pdf).
