Direct labor
Use the minutes required for the batch multiplied by the fully loaded hourly rate.
Packaging
Include containers, labels, bags, disposables, and inserts that leave with the sale.
Overhead
Rent and general management are usually period costs. Test them through a separate allocation or break-even scenario rather than hiding them inside ingredient cost.
Use your own operating data
Supplier prices, yields, labor rates, and channel fees change. KitchenMargin treats them as editable inputs rather than universal facts.
