Know your food cost.
Price your menu with confidence.
Food Cost Calculator shows the real food cost % and margin of every dish, ingredient by ingredient. Built for working kitchens: offline, no account, no spreadsheets.
From price list to margin in three steps
-
Add your ingredients
Enter the net purchase price per unit, e.g. onions at 3.00 per kg. Update it when your supplier changes prices and every recipe follows.
-
Build recipes
Add ingredients and prep components, such as sauces or stocks, in any unit. Enter the quantity on the plate and the yield %, e.g. 90% for peeled onions.
-
Set the menu price
Enter the price as printed on the menu. The app removes VAT and shows the food cost % and margin, color-coded against your own targets.
Everything a kitchen needs to cost a menu
Ingredient price list
Keep every purchase price in one place. Update a price once and every recipe that uses the ingredient recalculates instantly.
Yield & waste built in
Account for trimming, peeling and shrinkage with a yield % on each recipe line, so the cost reflects what you actually have to buy.
Prep components
Cost a batch of sauce, dough or stock once, set how much it yields, and use it in any dish. Its cost per gram flows into every dish that uses it.
Unit conversion
Buy by the kilogram, cook by the gram. Metric and imperial units, plus pieces converted to weight using an average piece weight.
Margin at a glance
Food cost % and margin on every dish, marked good, warning or poor against thresholds you set, so loss-making items stand out.
