RecipeCost: Chef Calculator
Recipe & Menu Costing
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Estimate food cost per serving from a recipe or photo, then share the facts. Premium adds target-margin pricing and ingredient history.
Turn a written recipe, manually entered ingredients, or a food photo into an AI-assisted cost estimate. RecipeCost helps cooks and small food businesses understand cost per serving before setting a menu price.
• Review ingredients, total food cost, cost per serving, top cost drivers, and a waste allowance.
• Paste a recipe, enter ingredients, or take or choose a photo.
• Premium lets you set a target margin and include packaging, labor, and overhead.
• Inspect the profit split and break-even quantity, and compare saved recipes.
• Update ingredient prices and review price history stored on your device.
How it works:
1. Enter the recipe or choose a photo.
2. Review the recognized recipe and estimates.
3. Open the Cost result; use Premium for Price, Margin, and History.
The app is free to download, and the basic Cost result is available without upgrading. RecipeCost Premium unlocks pricing, margin, history, and the saved-recipe list through an auto-renewing weekly subscription or a permanent purchase.
Important: All figures are AI-assisted estimates, not live supplier, market, or wholesale prices. Check your own supplier prices, prep yield, tax, labor, packaging, overhead, and waste before using any price on a real menu.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
The Premium screen now lists only what Premium adds: sell price at your target margin, profit split, break-even quantity and ingredient price history.
A discard prompt now protects an analysis that finishes while you decide. Labour cost matches the totals, price history uses a consistent time axis, and recovered inputs require an explicit retry.
