Recipe scaler
Every camp inherits recipes that feed six and a dining hall that feeds hundreds. Put in the recipe as written, tell it how many you feed, and get back kitchen quantities: teaspoons rolled up to quarts and gallons, ounces to pounds, everything rounded to what a scoop can measure.
Structure scales straight; seasoning does not. Past a doubling, salt, dried spices, garlic and heat come back at 75% of the math with a note to finish by taste, because flavor concentrates as batches grow and nobody can un-salt forty gallons. Cook to temperature, not to the clock: time follows pan depth, not batch size.
Two ways forward
The same module on every guide, so it reads as advice rather than an ad.Run the kitchen on systems instead of memory
Camp Kitchen Pro holds the recipes, par levels, allergen flags and production plans, so a new crew inherits the last one’s work.
- Scale recipes to any headcount
- Allergens flagged at the ingredient
- Orders built from the menu
Have the whole kitchen staffed for you
Summer Camp Cooks recruits, trains and manages the crew, with a food service manager on site who owns the outcome.
- Crew recruited, trained and managed
- A food service manager on site
- Camps of 100–900 campers and staff
