Recipe Sync: The Digital Workstation Built for the Professional Bar Say goodbye to messy paper recipes. Bring a level of precision and elegance to your prep and recipe management you've never had before. Behind every perfect cocktail are countless rounds of precise prep and disciplined recipe management. We know how high-pressure and detail-heavy bar work is — Recipe Sync is built for today's professional bartenders, bar managers, and floor teams. It's more than a digital recipe book: it's the workstation that lets you run daily bar operations, calculate material usage down to the drop, and keep every drink your team sends out perfectly consistent. Put a tool with true craftsman aesthetics in your hands, and let your bar run like a classic cocktail — precise, captivating, and flawless. Core Features 1. Dual Recipe & Prep Libraries Cleanly separate your cocktail recipes and prep production into two dedicated libraries. Search by custom hashtags or technique — no matter how deep a recipe is buried, you'll pull it up in a second. 2. Smart Batch Auto-Calculation Enter your production multiplier and the app instantly scales every spirit, syrup, and juice to the total you'll need, along with your estimated yield — wiping out human math errors for good. 3. Daily Dashboard & Checklist Add the day's recipes and preps to your Bar Workbench in one tap. An intuitive progress bar and checklist help the team track what's pending and what's done, making shift handovers crystal clear. 4. Material Usage Reports The app automatically pulls every task on today's workbench into a clean, professional material-usage forecast. Export it as plain text in one tap and send it via AirDrop or messaging to your buyer or team chat — prep, seamlessly handed off. 5. Lossless Team Backup & Sharing Our signature smart lossless import means that when a team member brings in new recipes, your existing library is never overwritten or wiped. 6. Full Bilingual Support Switch seamlessly between Traditional Chinese and English in one tap — designed for international bar teams, so nothing gets lost across languages. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Recipe Sync Full Access | $4.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 2.1.1 — 2026-08-01 Polish & Stability - Fixed an issue where ingredient costs were not syncing correctly in the database ### 2.1 — 2026-07-25 What's New Event Menus - Create an event and add the night's cocktails to its menu - Every cocktail's ingredients are totaled up into one prep list for the whole event - Export both the menu and the prep list to Excel - Assign an owner to each material - The same material across different cocktails merges and adds up automatically Prep Scheduling & Today's Prep - Add any prep to Today's Prep, or schedule it for a future date (it shows up on the day) - The prep calendar lays out your whole week — tap into any item to set batch counts and details Independent Prep per Event - The same prep keeps a separate amount for each event — no overwriting - Change one event's requirement and only that event's scheduled prep follows; the others stay put - Even if two events need the same prep on the same day, Today's Prep lists them separately, each with its own number and checkbox Event-Specific Recipes - Adjust a single cocktail's or prep's ingredients within an event (swap a brand or a substitute) - Those changes affect that event only — the original recipe stays exactly as it was - Prep requirements recalculate on their own after any edit - Link a cocktail's ingredient to its prep recipe and jump straight there to view or edit Ingredient Units - Units are now a dropdown — the common ones (ml, oz, dash, and so on) are one tap away - Any custom unit is remembered the moment you type it, so you never re-enter it - Manage them under Settings › Ingredient Library › Custom Units; if a unit is still used by recipes, you'll see how many before deleting Polish & Stability - Compact centered page titles free up space up top - The ingredient library and task lists are now standalone rounded cards, matching the event list - Dashboard shortcuts (Events / Prep Calendar) tidied into one row - Fixed batch amounts reverting to old values after leaving and returning to a page (including swipe-back and event-override paths) - Fixed older backups failing to load after new data fields were added ### 2.0 — 2026-06-18 What's News Ingredient Library - Save any ingredient to your library, with duplicate detection (replace or keep both) - Fill an existing ingredient from your library — no delete-and-redo - Sort the library by name, ABV, cost, or volume - Turn a prep into a reusable ingredient Measurement & Cost - Density conversion: accurate volume and cost even in grams or kilograms - ABV field added to prep ingredients - Estimated yield follows the oz/ml toggle - Small units (drop/dash/tsp/tbsp) no longer change your cost unit Insights - Top 5 Items: see what you make most - Last 30 Days chart: track your prep rhythm Design & Experience - Custom background color in Settings - Redesigned dashboard with merged cards and a cleaner toolbar - Density menu and fields now fully localized - Better dark-mode readability, plus a fix for batch-mode tabs needing two taps ### 1.3.1 — 2026-05-12 Refine and enhance current functionality ### 1.3 — 2026-04-19 What's New - Search by Ingredient — Type any ingredient name to find all recipes containing it, with a source badge on matched results - Recipe Sorting & Filtering — Sort by name, date, cost, or ABV, with the active sort shown directly in the toolbar - Quick Recipe Share — Long-press a recipe card or tap share inside a recipe to instantly share in plain text format - Ingredient Library — Build a reusable library with unit, ABV, and cost info — select directly when creating new recipes - Reverse Batch Calculator — Enter a target yield and get the batch multiplier automatically, with a one-tap mode switch - Task Type Tabs — Cocktails and preps now have separate tabs in the task selector for faster browsing - Prep History — Manually record completed prep sessions with batch counts and ingredient amounts for future reference - Secret Easter Egg --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
