Kalkuva: Food Cost Calculator

Kalkuva (formerly PlateCost) is the fastest way for chefs to cost a dish. Paste your supplier's price list or upload a PDF, Excel or CSV. Your whole ingredient library gets priced in one go. Type your ingredients in plain kitchen language and Kalkuva does the math: the grams, the cost per portion, the food cost percentage and your margin, instantly. • Price list import: Paste a price list or upload a PDF, Excel or CSV file. The AI reads it and matches your ingredients. Every price updates in one tap, and big jumps get flagged for review first. • Cost-sheet import: Upload your old cost-price Excel (or Word, PDF or a photo of it) and bring in dishes, preps and prices at once. • Smart units: Don't know the weight of "1 tbsp of honey" or "1 slice of tomato"? The AI helper weighs it and shows its reasoning. Next time it already knows. • Food cost traffic light: Green under 30%, orange 30–35%, red over 35% (adjustable). See at a glance which dishes eat your margin. • One ingredient list, one price: Change a price once and every dish that uses it recalculates automatically. • Sub-recipes: Build a stock or a sauce once and reuse it; its cost flows through to every dish. • Allergens: Get an allergen suggestion per ingredient. • Available in 10 languages, from English to Japanese. • Works offline: Your recipes stay on your device. No account required. • Backup: Export your whole book to one file, or restore an earlier version. Free for everyone. The whole cost sheet is free to use, with three limits: 12 dishes (importing your own cost sheet is free up to that), 2 price-list imports to try, and 10 questions to Sous, the cost-price expert. Kalkuva Pro (optional) removes those limits. It also syncs your recipes and prices across devices. The yearly plan starts with 14 days free. Kalkuva is a calculator without stock management or dashboards. It's the fastest cost sheet in the kitchen. Built by Kell Zwart, chef.
