Recipe GP% in Nory

Every menu recipe in Nory falls into one of these categories:

  • Food

  • Beverage

  • Meal deal

Nory uses these categories when calculating GP%. Food recipes contribute to your food GP%, and drink recipes contribute to your beverage GP%. Meal deal GP% is different: it's flexible, so you decide how much of each meal deal contributes to food GP% and how much contributes to beverage GP%.

Setting GP% for a Meal Deal

To set or adjust the GP% split for a meal deal recipe:

  1. Head to the Inventory Setup section of Nory.

  2. Click the "Recipes" tab.

  3. Choose a meal deal recipe from the list and click to open it.

  4. Next to "Recipe Type," you'll see two fields labelled "Food" and "Beverage," each containing a percentage value. By default, these percentages are based on your recipe's ingredients, but you can change them to better represent the actual GP% split of your meal deal.

    Example: A meal deal containing a drink and a chicken sandwich could be set as 100% food and 0% beverage. However, to get a more accurate result, you could instead split it 80% food and 20% beverage.

  5. Once you've set the GP% split, click "Save" to confirm the changes. Nory will apply these values the next time it detects the item being sold.

Making Sure Your GP% Split Is Accurate

Your GP% in Nory depends on the sales data Nory pulls in from your POS system.

Sales that aren't assigned to a recipe will be highlighted in Inventory Insights. Hover over the total sales figure to see the value of these unassigned items.

To make sure your numbers are 100% accurate, we recommend assigning your POS items to recipes on the POS IDs page in Nory.
