## What is Recipe Costing?

From ingredient costs to the price you should charge.

BakeCost is a recipe costing and pricing app for bakers, cafés, food trucks, and small food businesses.

Calculate ingredient costs, prep items, labor, packaging, selling fees, cost rates, margins, and suggested selling prices — including expected waste — all in one place.

When an ingredient price changes, BakeCost shows which recipes are affected, which products cross your safety cost rate, and what price may help protect your profit.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-17

This update strengthens data migration and backups, and makes purchasing and production planning easier.

• Ingredient-specific density, piece-weight, and cup-volume conversions
• Suppliers, purchase history, and an append-only inventory ledger
• Saved production plans and shopping-list CSV export
• Review-first CSV import and on-device receipt image recognition
• Optional alerts for upcoming ingredient price changes

### 1.0.1 — 2026-06-14

Now your home screen shows, at a glance, which recipes need a price review.

• Redesigned home screen. Under “Today,” the recipes worth reviewing now appear first, so you can see at a glance how healthy each price is (cost rate).
• Reports are now organized into Review / Analyze / Export. Start with the items above your limit cost rate that need a closer look.
• From a recipe’s detail, apply its suggested price with one tap. A confirmation dialog keeps prices from ever changing on their own.
• Cleaned up how costs and profit are shown, and refined the wording, to make everything easier to read.
