Cost Per Serving Calculations: Food Item By Weight

When a vendor product is selected for a food item, the food item will be assigned a cost per serving (which can be viewed on the Vendor Product Selection screen). This article explains how the cost per serving is calculated using a food item's weight.

If Food Item by Weight Has a Defined Portion Size

If a food item by weight has a defined portion size, the calculations are as follows:

1. The first calculation is to determine the price per gram by dividing the pack price by the total grams of the assigned pack size (total grams = stock units multiplied by stock unit measure in grams). 
2. The second calculation is to multiply the price per gram by the portion size measure of the food item.

Weight Example 2:

If Food Item by Weight Has No Defined Portion Size

If a food item has no defined portion size. then the system uses a default serving of 100 grams as the serving size. As such, the calculations are as follows:

1. The first calculation is to determine the price per gram by dividing the pack price by the total grams of the assigned pack size (total grams = stock units multiplied by stock unit measure in grams).
2. The second calculation is to multiply the price per gram by 100 grams to determine the cost per serving. 

Weight Example 1:

Pack Price / (Stock Units in the Assigned Pack Size x Stock Unit Measure in Grams) = Price per Gram			Multiply by 100 Grams	Cost per Serving
$34.34 / (24 stock units x 538.641 grams (19 oz) = 12,927.384 total grams) = 0.0026563765723986			0.0026563765723986 x 100 grams = 0.26563765723986	$0.27 for 100 grams

Weight Example 2:

Pack Price / (Stock Units in the Assigned Pack Size x Stock Unit Measure in Grams) = Price per Gram			Multiply by 100 Grams	Cost per Serving
$21.74 / (1 stock unit x 775 grams = 775 total grams) = 0.0280516129032258			0.0280516129032258 x 100 grams = 2.80516129032258	$2.81 for 100 grams

When the Assigned Pack Size Does not Show the Stock Unit Measure

Depending on the vendor product, the stock unit measure may not show in Assigned Pack Size. In such cases the stock unit measure can be viewed in the product info window, which is opened by clicking the product name link. In the example below (second screenshot) the stock unit measure is 138 grams. 

Cost Per Serving Calculations: Food Item with a Density Value

When a vendor product is selected for a food item, the food item will be assigned a cost per serving (which can be viewed on the Vendor Product Selection screen). This article explains how the cost per serving is calculated for a food item with a density value.

• If Food Item with a Density Value Has No Defined Portion Size

If Food Item with a Density Value Has a Defined Portion Size

A food item with a density value is typically measured by volume. If a food item with a density value has a defined portion size, then the calculation is as follows:

1. The first calculation is to determine the price per millilitre by dividing the pack price by the total millilitres of the assigned pack size (total millilitres = stock units multiplied by stock unit measure in millilitres).
2. The second calculation is to multiply the price per millilitre by the portion size measure of the food item to determine the cost per serving, but without the density applied. 
3. The third calculation is to apply the density by dividing the cost per serving by the density of the food item. 

If Food Item with a Density Value Has No Defined Portion Size 

A food item with a density value it typically measured by volume. If a food item with a density value has no defined portion size. then the system uses a default portion size of 100 grams. As such, the calculations are as follows:

1. The first calculation is to determine the price per millilitre by dividing the pack price by the total millilitres of the assigned pack size (total millilitres = stock units multiplied by stock unit measure in millilitres).
2. The second calculation is to multiply the price per millilitres by 100 grams to determine the cost per serving, but without the density applied.
3. The third calculation is to apply the density by dividing the cost per serving by the density of the food item. 

Cost Per Serving Calculations: Food Item by Catch Weight

When a vendor product is selected for a food item, the food item will be assigned a cost per serving (which can be viewed on the Vendor Product Selection screen). This article explains how the cost per serving is calculated for a food with with a catch weight.  

The catch weight is typically associated with meat products to adjust the pricing based on weight per pound (US) or kilogram (Canada). A product that is a catch weight is identified with the following symbol () in the Assigned Pack Size on the Vendor Product Selection screen.

If Food Item by Catch Weight Has No Defined Portion Size

If a product is a catch weight and the food item has no defined portion size measure, the cost per serving is calculated as follows: 

1. The first calculation is to determine the price per gram. For USA accounts, the price per gram is the pack price divided by 454 grams (1 pound). For Canada accounts, the price per gram is the pack price divided by 1000 grams (1 kilogram). 
2. The second calculation is to multiply the price per gram by 100 grams to determine the cost per serving. 

Canada Catch Weight Example

Pack Price / 1000 grams (1 kilogram) = Price per Gram			Multiply by 100 grams	Cost per Serving
$8.47 / 1000 = 0.00847			0.00847 x 100 grams = 0.847	$.85 for 100 grams

USA Catch Weight Example

Pack Price / 454 grams (1 pound) = Price per Gram			Multiply by 100 grams	Cost per Serving
$2.13 / 454 = 0.0046916299559471			0.0046916299559471 x 100 grams = 0.4691629955947137	$.47 for 100 grams

If Food Item by Catch Weight Has a Defined Portion Size

If a product is a catch weight and the food item has a defined portion size measure, the cost per serving is calculated as follows: 

1. The first calculation is to determine the price per gram. For USA accounts, the price per gram is the pack price divided by 454 grams (1 pound). For Canada accounts, the price per gram is the pack price divided by 1000 grams (1 kilogram).
2. The second calculation is to multiply the price per gram by the portion size measure of the food item.
