# Recipe Costing

Recipe Costing, like its prerequisite [Item Costing](/doc/docs/item-costing), is a powerful feature in the Operations Module of Restaurant365. This document gives a high level of each type of record you must create/update in order to use the many functions within Recipe Costing.

## Setup

These following steps must be completed in order to properly set up Recipe Costing in the R365 Operations Module. Click each link to learn more about each step:

1. [Item Costing](/doc/docs/item-costing) - All requirements must be complete before you can begin to build Recipes and Map them to Menu Items
2. [POS Integration](/doc/docs/pos-integration-overview) - Menu Items from your POS are imported into R365 where they can then be mapped to Recipes
3. [Recipe Items](/doc/docs/recipe-item-record) - Once all Purchased Items and Vendor Items have been created, you can build your Recipes in R365

> If Recipe Items are not being used for [Prep Logs](/doc/docs/prep-log-1), ensure that the 'Prepped' checkbox is left unchecked so as to not throw off your Recipe Costing
4. [Recipe to Menu Item Mapping](/doc/docs/mapping-recipes-to-menu-items) - The final step is mapping your Recipes to your POS Menu Items
