More than menu costing.
Know your costs
Cost food and drinks using supplier prices, yields, preparation labour and other direct costs. See your margins and check your selling prices.
Organise daily operations
Manage kitchen and bar stock, record sales and waste, organise staff shifts, and plan monthly revenue and costs.
Create your menus and marketing
Design menus, publish digital menus with QR codes, and create matching flyers, business cards and social graphics.
Your supplier prices, organised.
Import ingredients from Excel or CSV, or add them manually. Keep supplier details, pack sizes and prices together for your kitchen and bar.
Know what each portion costs
Build food and drink recipes that account for portions, trim and cooking losses, preparation labour and packaging. See the direct cost of each serving before setting your selling price.
See what each sale leaves behind
Compare your selling prices with your costs. See your gross margin and the contribution left after ingredients, preparation labour and other direct costs, helping you understand what is available towards fixed overheads and profit.
Menu Studio
From your dishes to a finished menu.
Create menus with your own fonts, colours and branding. Add dishes from costing or your saved dish library, or import menu text from Word documents and selectable-text PDFs. Edit and style text directly on the page.
Prepare menus for print or PDF, or publish a digital menu with a QR code and matching branded table cards. Save your designs and reuse dishes when your menu changes.
Brand Studio
Give your business
a consistent look.
Create flyers, business cards, posters and social graphics, including double-sided designs. Use your own logo and images, choose stock photos and icons, and match colours from an image. Customise fonts, layouts and backgrounds to suit your brand.
Add animation effects, including text that appears as if being typed. Download static designs as PNG, JPG or PDF, or export animations as silent MP4 videos in supported browsers.
