Features
Full recipe costing. Calculates production cost, price, food cost percentage, factor, markup, gross profit and gross profit percentage for all recipes and menus. Products failing to meet profitability targets are highlighted on screen and exception reports let you see poorly performing products.
Multiple sales outlets. Resort Executive lets you set up multiple sales outlets and each recipe/product can be sold at any number of outlets for different retail prices. Enter a recipe once and cost it for multiple trading locations.
Costing for multiple sites. Calculates recipe, menu and function/banquet costs for multiple geographical locations using location specific ingredient costs. Allows for inter-city ingredient cost differences.
Labour costing. Performs comprehensive labour costing for ingredient preparations, recipe preparation, and menu and function/banquet preparation and service.
Drag-'n-drop or search/insert recipe building. Drag ingredients from a browser list into a recipe's ingredient list. Alternatively, search for component ingredients and sub-recipes by name to insert into recipes.
Recipe scaling. Scale recipe quantities by either a scale factor or to produce a particular total recipe quantity.
Pictures. Store and prints pictures (24bit color) with recipes and ingredients.
Nested recipes. Embed sub-recipes within recipes to an unlimited depth. i.e. Create a recipe for Beef Stock and use that stock as an ingredient in as many other recipes as you wish. Later on if you decide to use a different Beef Stock recipe, just modify the sub-recipe and all other recipes referencing the Beef Stock recipe are automatically updated! Resort Executive also displays a graphical representation of your recipe's structure showing component sub-recipes/ingredients and their required quantities.
Menu Engineering. Analyze the sales performance of each of your retail products. View results in tabular or graphical form.
Function/banquet costing. Cost one-off functions/banquets in minutes.
Market lists. Generate market (order) lists for menus and/or functions. You can even combine any number of menus or functions into a single market list for ordering.
Stock management. Combine purchase tracking and stocktakes with product costing to get overall Cost of Goods Sold figures for a trading period.
Database compatibility. Resort Executive is fully database compatible with other Resort Software recipe management products. You can upgrade from Resort Chef, Resort Bistro, or Resort Restaurant to Resort Executive without needing to convert any data.
Multi-user. Resort Executive implements full record locking to permit multi-user operation. Just place your database on a file server (or a shared folder on a peer-to-peer network) and you're up and running.
Spell Checker. Check spelling for all text in your database.
Import Wizard. Imports data into a Resort Executive database. Import recipes in RXF, Meal Master and MasterCook MX2 format. With the phenomenal growth of the Internet in recent years, there are now thousands (maybe even millions!) of recipes available on the Internet for download. Also import ingredient details from plain ASCII text files or Microsoft Excel Workbook (.xls) files.
Export Wizard. Exports data from a Resort Executive database in several different file formats. Export Wizard will even export selected recipes to HTML web pages.
Unit Wizard. Handles unit conversions. When Executive can't determine how to convert between any two units, Unit Wizard is launched automatically to prompt for a conversion factor. These conversion factors are then stored for future reference.
Report Wizard. Makes selecting reports a snap. Select from a huge range of reports (> 200) with most major report types offering a number of selection parameters to let you print exactly what you want.
Replacement Wizard. Handles searching for, and replacing data within a Resort Executive database. i.e. Replace every occurrence of self-raising flour with plain flour in every recipe.
Case Wizard. Do your staff have trouble working out out how to turn CAPS-LOCK off? Turn that ugly mixed upper and lower case data into something more presentable. Case Wizard will scan your entire recipe database and convert all text into either all upper case, all lower case or proper case.
Email Wizard. Email selected recipes or your entire database (optionally compressed) to your colleagues with a few mouse clicks.
Export/email reports. Export or email all reports to ASCII text, MS-Word, MS-Excel and Lotus 123 files, as well as many other formats.
HTML Export. Generate an entire recipe web site with a few clicks of the mouse. Use either the standard or your own custom HTML templates to get your recipe web looking 'just right'. Publish the recipes to the internet or use them on internal intranets.
