Standard Recipe Cards (SRCs)
Return customers in a restaurant or bar:
- are important to a good business.
- like to know they will get the same product each time they come in.
Recipes give the chef or bartenders:
- guidance in making either dishes or drinks.
- information on how to produce dishes or drinks.

- any special pieces of equipment that may be required.
- the name of the recipe.

Do It
Standard Recipe Cards, also known as SRCs, are used throughout the Hospitality industry, from fast food outlets, to fine dining restaurants, to bars, for cocktail recipes. SRCs are important because they provide a standard recipe and expectation for both the establishment and the customer.
The SRC consists of several parts, such as: a list of ingredients with amounts, the method of preparation, details of and when the recipe was made, by whom, the cost, the amount of portions it makes and a picture of what the recipe looks like.
SRCs can come in different layouts but they all have the same purpose and type of information.
