BatterWise helps home bakers and small bakery businesses know exactly what their recipes cost — and price them with confidence. RECIPE COSTING Build out your recipes ingredient by ingredient, and BatterWise automatically calculates the true cost per batch and per serving, plus your profit margin at whatever price you charge. No more guessing whether a sale price actually covers your ingredients. INVENTORY, MADE SIMPLE Track what you have on hand for every ingredient, in the same package sizes you actually buy — no unit-conversion math required. BatterWise compares your stock against everything currently in your Weekly Planner so you always know what's covered and what's short. WEEKLY PLANNER Schedule what you're baking, day by day. BatterWise rolls your planned bakes up against your inventory automatically, so a shortage shows up before you're mid-recipe and out of eggs. GROCERY LIST, AUTO-BUILT Based on your planner and your current stock, BatterWise builds your shopping list for you — what's short, how many packages to buy, and the estimated cost. Share it, print it, save it as a PDF, or copy it as text. SCAN YOUR RECIPE CARDS Snap a photo of a recipe card and BatterWise reads the ingredients into a recipe for you to review. The photo is read on your device and never uploaded.
