About

Vibes Kitchen

Features
Read full description

Vibes Kitchen is a recipe management & food-costing app for restaurants, cafés and bars. Keep your recipes organized with photos, and from costing dishes to building the shopping and order lists you actually need, the tedious calculator-and-spreadsheet work is handled for you. Save your recipes and ingredients, and the math and tallying are done automatically, so pricing and ordering get much easier. ■ What it does ● Recipe management: keep recipes organized in one list, save with photos, archive the ones you don't use ● Idea notes: capture dish ideas anywhere—ingredients like “- chicken 250g” are recognized as you type, then converted to a recipe in one tap ● Food cost: per-serving and total, calculated for you ● Cost ratio & price: ratio from a price, or a suggested price from a target ratio ● Shopping & order lists: needed purchases and order quantity, totaled from how much you're making ● Ingredient management with price history ● Natural units: cost by g, ml and pieces—or straight in tbsp, tsp and pinches ● Prep (sub-recipes): build sauces and stocks into your costs ● Prep calculator: ingredient amounts convert automatically to however much you're making (one-tap ×2 / ×3) ● Recipe sharing: send recipes as a file to another Vibes Kitchen. Hand staff view-only copies — re-sending updates them in place ● Allergen management: set allergens per ingredient and each recipe totals them automatically, with a chart formatted for your region ● Ingredient labels: auto-generate an ingredient label from any recipe (text / PDF / image), print via AirPrint or label printers — great for packaged and takeout items ● Tax: switch tax-included / tax-excluded ● Multiple stores, with copy between them ● iCloud sync across devices on the same Apple ID ● PDF / CSV / text export, multilingual & multi-currency Organizing recipes, recalculating when an ingredient price changes, tallying up an order—the app does it right away, so you spend less time on math and more on cooking.
