Background: So pre-pandemic, I’ve been the sole baker at the family shop, so recipes were just whatever format that kinda worked at the time. However since pandemic, we had to expand on my baked goods to bring in more customers. By doing so we’ve had to hire some help cause I cant keep up with the production myself. So my big problem now is, I need to standardize my baking recipes so they’re easy to follow.

I’ve tried a variety of different recipe formats, including baking sites and apps, and they don’t seem to be clear enough. I’ve seen one store format everything into blog posts, and shares them with staff at multiple locations. Is this common? I’m even wondering if there’s an SOP for recipe SOPS (I’m a home-trained baker turned commercial baker)?

TLDR: What recipe format works best for entry-level? Do most industry recipes have step by step photos? How are they kept? Physically or digitally?

I apologize in advance if this isn’t the right sub for this type of question
