FAQ

Questions, answered honestly

Do I need to convert units?

Use the same unit in recipes as the ingredient's pack unit (kg with kg, each with each). The workbook shows the unit next to every recipe line so mistakes are easy to spot.

Is a 30% food cost right for me?

It's a common starting point, not a rule. Set your own target in Settings based on your concept, labour and rent.

Can I use it for catering or a bakery?

Yes. Use portions per batch for trays, loaves or catering pans.

How do I pay, and do you accept cards?

PayPal, or a debit/credit card through PayPal's checkout where PayPal offers guest checkout. You can also pay with Bitcoin (on-chain).

When do I receive my files?

PayPal: a private download link is emailed to your PayPal address, usually within about 15 minutes. Bitcoin: email your order code to eclipsekingdom.support@gmail.com; the link follows one blockchain confirmation. Links stay valid for 30 days.

What if a file doesn't work for me?

Email eclipsekingdom.support@gmail.com within 30 days and we'll fix it or refund you (PayPal refunds via PayPal; Bitcoin refunds in BTC for the USD value paid). See terms & refunds.
