Grocery and purchasing

Buy exactly what you need, nothing more

Scaled rolls your prep plan into one shopping list, grouped by source, with quantities that match what you are actually cooking.

Grocery list grouped by shop category

Every dish your team plans to cook already lists its ingredients and quantities. Scaled rolls that prep plan into a single shopping list, adding up the same recipe quantities across the window so the amounts match what the kitchen will make. The result is one list, grouped by where each item is bought, that a shopper can work top to bottom.

Built from the prep plan

Scaled reads the recipes behind the week's prep tasks and captures each one, so the shopping list reflects exactly what is scheduled to be prepped.

Or from one order or a date range

Scope a list to a date range, a set of specific dates, or a single order. A working list from recipes alone is supported too.

Quantities that match the recipes

Each source is scaled by its servings and summed per ingredient, so you buy what you cook. On an order, the multiplier comes from the guest count against the recipe's base servings.

Sensible unit totals

Rows in the same unit are added together, and mass-to-mass and volume-to-volume are converted and combined, so the list stays tidy.

Grouped by where you buy it

Items group by shop category (the grocery store, a supplier, the farmers market), so the shopper moves through the list by source instead of hunting.

Recipes and manual lines together

Add a recipe directly, or add ad-hoc lines for anything the recipes do not cover, all on the same list.

Stays in step, with drift detection

A list snapshots its data at creation, and if the underlying prep or recipes change, Scaled shows an out-of-date banner and offers to regenerate while keeping your manual lines.

How it fits

From recipe to receipt, one number

Because grocery reads the same recipe quantities and the same servings multiplier as prep, the amount you buy is the amount you cook. Scale an event up and the shopping list scales with it. There is never a second place to update.
