Benefits

Why it helps you run the business

The real cost of every dish

The recipe breakdown calculates what each dish costs based on its ingredients, so you see the real margin and spot dishes that don't pay off.

Stock deducts itself

Every sale automatically deducts the ingredients used in its recipe. No need to log consumption by hand.

Alerts before you run out

See which ingredients are running low before they run out mid-service, so you can restock in time.

Catch mismatches earlier

By comparing theoretical stock against actual stock, you spot waste, breakage or anything that doesn't add up in storage sooner.

Price changes ripple through automatically

If an ingredient's price goes up, update it once and see the impact on the cost of every dish that uses it.
