Mise didn't have a recipe module. Until Canyon Ranch needed one.
Two years ago, Canyon Ranch came to us with thousands of recipes and software their kitchen had outgrown. Mise didn't have a recipe module yet. So we built it together. Today, it's a Mise platform product. We haven't stopped building since.

what we built first
A Prep List Generator. Sized to tonight's service.
Kitchen Display Prep is the chef's workspace for batch prep math. The chef sets the par levels, picks which batch recipes are coming up, and enters the portion count for each. The tool scales every recipe to match and publishes the prep list to the kitchen. That math used to live in the chef's head and on a clipboard.
- chef enters target par levels and portions per batch
- tool runs the multiplication, publishes the prep list to the display
- prep team sees what to make, sorted by station
- chef edits propagate to the line as they happen

Switching to Mise for our nutrition calculations, recipe production, and menu planning has been a breath of fresh air. The platform is intuitive, versatile, and smart, saving us valuable time compared to the outdated programs still common in the industry.
what they asked for next
Kitchen Display Prep was just the first ask. More came.
The recipe module became the trunk, and every branch built on top of it has been only theirs. Here are two that came next.
menu planner & order sheet
A Menu Planner. And the order sheet it generates.
Each chef plans their property's weekly menus by picking recipes from the module and projecting covers for each. Mise rolls every ingredient and every quantity into one order sheet, ready to send to vendors. What arrives is what they'll actually use.
- one sheet per property, never mixed across kitchens
- accounts for what's already in the walk-in
- editable up to the moment the chef hits send

menu ingredient lists
Menu Ingredient Lists. Allergens and nutrition, print-ready.
We designed a custom PDF template to Canyon Ranch's own print standard. One click renders an ingredient list for every active menu item, complete with allergens and nutrition, pulled straight from the recipe module. What used to be a documentation project is now a button.
- every active menu item, rendered in one pass
- allergens and nutrition stay true to the recipe
- re-render anytime the menu changes
before
Their legacy software handled recipes and nutrition. It worked, but it couldn't keep up with a high-performance kitchen running across four properties.
now
They now run one recipe module across four properties, with three extensions built on top of it just for them. Costs update when ingredient prices move. Allergens travel with the recipe wherever it goes.
and going forward
When they want something that doesn't exist yet, they tell us, and we build it. Sometimes it ships in two weeks and sometimes it takes a quarter, but it always ships, and it's always theirs.
your turn
Try the recipe module. The same one Canyon Ranch runs on.
It's a Mise platform product that handles nutrition, subrecipes, plate costs, and allergens, all in your browser today. Spend thirty days putting your own recipes into it. We'll help you migrate the first hundred. If it's not better than what you have now, walk away.
More case studies coming soon.
