No spreadsheets. See margins
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
Seasonal menus, updated margins. Price specials in minutes - no spreadsheets, just clear food cost and profit.
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 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 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.
Cloud sync encrypts everything in transit and at rest.
No account needed to start — sync is optional.
▶ DARK MODE
Easy on the eyes during late-night menu planning.
