Recipe Cost Calculator

Costs recipes to the penny, tracks ingredient prices and plans production so restaurants, bakeries, caterers and food producers can price menus from real numbers.

Overview

Add ingredients with supplier prices and build recipes with sub-recipes, waste percentages and measurement conversions. When a price changes, every affected recipe recalculates, with cost views by ingredient or category that export to Excel or PDF. Recipes and groups of recipes can be scaled into production plans that produce a bill of materials, shopping list and total COGS. Allergen tagging is included, and nutrition labels are an add-on. Higher plans add purchase orders and inventory of raw materials and finished goods with FIFO lot assignment and forward and backward lot tracing.
