Recipe Builder

Every product has a recipe.
Now your costs do too.

Tell venq what goes into each product and it calculates your cost of goods automatically. Change a material price and every recipe that uses it updates instantly.

Why makers undercharge

The most common mistake handmade sellers make is pricing by feel. They charge what seems reasonable, what their competitors charge, or whatever the market seems to accept. They don't actually know their cost per unit.

A recipe builder changes that. Once you've mapped out what goes into each product, you know the floor you can't price below. You know which products have healthy margins and which ones are barely worth making.

How it works

01

Add your materials

Log every raw material you use: fragrance oil, beeswax, wick tabs, packaging. Set the unit (oz, ml, g, each) and log what you paid.

02

Build a recipe

For each product, specify exactly what goes in: 6 oz soy wax, 0.8 oz fragrance, 1 wick, 1 label. venq stores the formula.

03

Get cost per unit

venq calculates cost per unit from your recipe and current material prices. See your exact COGS before you price a single item.

04

Watch it update itself

Buy fragrance oil at a different price? Log the purchase and your COGS recalculates across every product that uses it.

What's included

Multi-ingredient recipes

Add as many materials as your product needs. Each ingredient pulls from your material library.

Unit conversion

Track materials in oz, lb, ml, L, g, kg, or units. venq handles conversion automatically.

Weighted average cost

Bought the same material at different prices? venq averages them properly across your purchase history.

Recalculate all at once

One button recalculates COGS for all matched products across all past events with the latest costs.
