KitchenCost vs Bake Margin

No spreadsheets. See your margins at a glance. Still calculating food cost in a spreadsheet every night? Ever set a price by gut feeling, only to find no profit left at the end of the month? I built KitchenCost after watching my wife spend 30 minutes costing every new menu item at her cafe. Now it's your turn to spend that time cooking, not calculating. Add ingredients once, and KitchenCost calculates recipe cost, food cost %, margin %, and a recommended selling price. ▶ FOOD COST IN 5 SECONDS Add ingredients once. Costs update automatically. See food cost, cost per serving, total cost, and ingredient breakdown at a glance. ▶ PRICING THAT HITS YOUR TARGET "How much should I charge to keep food cost at 30%?"
