KitchenCost - Recipe Costing

No spreadsheets. See your margins at a glance.

Still calculating food cost in a spreadsheet every night?

Ever set a price by gut feeling, only to find no profit left at the end of the month?

I built KitchenCost after watching my wife spend 30 minutes costing every new menu at her cafe.

Now it's your turn to spend that time cooking, not calculating.

Add ingredients once, and KitchenCost calculates recipe cost, food cost %, margin %, and a recommended selling price.

▶ FOOD COST IN 5 SECONDS

Add ingredients once. Costs update automatically.

See food cost, cost per serving, total cost, and ingredient breakdown at a glance.

▶ PRICING THAT HITS YOUR FOOD COST TARGET

"How much should I charge to keep food cost at 30%?"

Enter your target food cost % and get a selling price instantly.

▶ SUB-RECIPES, AUTO-UPDATED

Create sub-recipes like maple glaze, poutine gravy, or butter tart filling as recipes.

When ingredient prices change, every recipe using them updates automatically.

▶ ORGANIZE YOUR MENU

Dairy, sauces, desserts... sort things your way.

▶ ANY CURRENCY YOU NEED

CAD, USD, or type your own symbol.

▶ BUILT FOR INDEPENDENT CHEFS

Unlike enterprise software like meez, KitchenCost is lightweight and fast.

Set up in minutes with no onboarding calls or training.

▶ YOUR RECIPES, YOUR CONTROL

All data stored safely on your device.

Sync runs only when you choose to enable it, and synced data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

No account needed to start — your data stays local on your device by default.

▶ DARK MODE

Easy on the eyes during late-night menu planning.
