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.

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