Full description
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 item 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 TARGET "How much should I charge to keep food cost at 30%?" Set a 70% target margin and get the selling price instantly, with food cost % shown right next to it. ▶ SUB-RECIPES, AUTO-UPDATED Create sub-recipes like sauces and dressings 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 Pick a preset or type your own to use any currency. ▶ BUILT FOR PEOPLE SELLING FOOD Whether you run a cafe, a food truck, a catering kitchen, or a home bakery side hustle — KitchenCost is for anyone who sells the food they cook. Unlike enterprise software like meez, KitchenCost is lightweight and fast. Set up in minutes with no onboarding calls or training. ▶ PRIVATE BY DESIGN All data is 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. --- FAQ Q: Do I need an account? A: No. KitchenCost works offline and stores everything on your device. If you enable sync, data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Q: Can I use it for a cafe, food truck, or home bakery? A: Yes. It is built for small F&B businesses, home sellers, and personal chefs. --- WHO THIS IS FOR - Cafe, restaurant, and bakery owners - Food truck operators and catering services - Home bakers selling on Instagram, Etsy, or farmers markets - Cottage food operators and pop-up kitchens - Personal chefs and meal prep businesses - Anyone starting a food side hustle Leave the numbers to KitchenCost — focus on selling more. --- Beta Tester Feedback "Spreadsheets were a hassle. This saved me hours." - Beta Tester "Exactly the features I need, nothing overwhelming." - Beta Tester "Pricing menus felt simpler right away." - Beta Tester "Finally ditched my nightly spreadsheet routine." - Beta Tester "Sub-recipes updating automatically is a game changer." - Beta Tester

What's new

v1.7.369 - Each ingredient in a recipe now shows its share of the total cost. - Changing the yield unit converts the amount when it can (770 g → 0.77 kg) and asks for a new amount when it can't. - Clearer wording in every language, with prices, numbers and percentages in your local format.
