What it is

Restaurant Menu Costing is an offline app for restaurants, cafés, food trucks and caterers. Add your ingredients with pack size, pack price and usable % after trimming. Build each dish in grams, kg, ml, cups, spoons or pieces, and see the cost per portion as you type. Batch recipes are split into portions. Every dish shows its food cost % against your target, the profit per plate and the price you would need to hit your target. When an ingredient price changes, you see which dishes it affects. Add monthly sales counts to see your menu analysis: Stars, Plowhorses, Puzzles and Dogs, plus actual food cost and gross profit. Everything is saved only in your browser on your device.
