These past few years, we've had to re-engineer our menu because we saw a 30% increase in the cost of goods across the board. meez was invaluable when we did this because we could see what the cost would be after switching the ingredients and quantities. It helped us make our dishes more affordable.
We probably save 4-5 hours a week and have reduced any scaling errors by a lot with meez. New recipe development and testing is also so much easier. We can quickly and easily change the recipe and adjust baker's percentages incrementally.
We looked into many programs that were designed to be the ‘back office’ system for recipes, costing, and inventory, but none were built to be an intuitive database the way meez is.
It used to take me at least a week to cost a new menu and have training manuals, recipe books and allergen guides. Now it's all one step and I can do it in a day.
My favorite feature is that I can scale recipes up or down, depending on how much I need that week. I also really like the costing feature- the work in conversions that meez does for you saves me a lot of time.
Meez takes it to another efficiency level by giving the recipe writer the option to choose the percentage based on 100% of total ingredients vs a Baker's Percentage...so convenient.
The platform has been instrumental in making it work for us not having a pastry chef on site at our current locations. The program allows me to give all the details I would in person, videos, pictures and the ability to scale recipes.
I think the best part about meez is that it puts us all on the same page. For an industry that relies so heavily on consistency, it’s not always easy to actually create it. meez really does a good job of making it easy for us to eliminate friction caused by miscommunication or recipe discrepancies.
I love how you can enter videos into the prep method… For us it’s really valuable if we’re trying to show someone how to top a cookie. When I say a “drizzle” I know exactly what I mean, but you might mean it’s something different. meez allows the recipe to show the exact technique.
meez is 100% saving me time and money. The recipe organization features make it easy to scale a recipe from 10 servings to 500 servings. It is also very cool that meez determined average weights on ingredients, so converting from volume measurements to weights is crazy simple.
meez is a recipe tool that is revolutionizing the way work is done in kitchens around the world.
