Frequently Asked Questions
I have access to thousands of recipes from my food vendor, group purchasing organization or menu software. What are the advantages of also having your recipe subscription?
These services often have vast recipe databases which may be built for healthcare. RecipeTree can be an enhancement to your existing resource which may lack recipes in some areas such as specific cultures. Additionally, RecipeTree encourages you to be the keeper of all the recipes that work for your community so that if you change services, you don’t lose access to the recipe database and customizations you have made. You can copy RecipeTree recipes and customize them however you wish. Lastly, having a large database is good but having a highly searchable database is even better. RecipeTree allows you to search for recipes using a number of unique filters. We know you have limited time and can easily get lost on the internet searching.

My facility is one of 7 facilities under the same ownership. Can we all share one subscription?

RecipeTree has intentionally structured pricing to be affordable so that each community can have its own customizable subscription.
Why don’t I just print out the recipes that I want and cancel my subscription?
