Bring a camera to work one day, and take pictures of each recipe as they are served to customers. Having a photograph in the Method section shows cooks, expeditors, and servers what the dish should look like before it is served to a customer. Keeping appearances consistent goes along way towards customer satisfaction.
CostGuard has a built in Photograph and Multimedia option for recipes. Use it to save photos, or to run a video demonstrating how to make the dish.
Take pictures of the finished dish using a digital camera. Then, using the instructions from the camera, download the pictures into any popular photo-editing program. CostGuard supports JPEG and BMP formats. To fit the photo one a page, try to keep it smaller than 4 by 6 inches. If you are not sure how to do this, use the photo editing software help section. Save the photos to a disk or on the hard drive of the computer with CostGuard installed, before following these steps.
