What a shared recipe book does for your kitchen team

In many kitchens the most important recipe lives in one person’s head. When that person goes on holiday, you taste it on the plate.

Fewer questions during service

When everyone can open the recipe on their own phone, nobody has to ask in the middle of service how much tarragon goes into the béarnaise. The chef keeps hands and head free for the pass.

The same plate, every day

Three versions of the same sauce appear by themselves: someone tweaks something and writes it on their own note. With one shared recipe the latest version is always the only version. You notice it in consistency, even on the busiest night.

Responsibility without chaos

Not everyone needs to be able to change everything. Give your sous-chef or chef de partie rights to edit recipes, and let commis and interns only view. The recipe book stays the kitchen’s, not whoever touched it last.

Knowledge that stays

When a cook leaves, the knowledge does not leave with them. What is in the shared folder belongs to the kitchen. For a new cook it is the fastest way to learn how things are done here.

How to start

Start small: one shared folder with the base recipes everyone uses daily, such as stocks, sauces and standard garnishes. Invite your team and agree who may change what. Then expand per section or per menu.

In Savour you create shared folders with the rights you choose. Being a member of a shared folder is free.

Your recipes deserve a better place than a drawer.
