Zen Chef helps restaurants and kitchens understand real food cost — from raw ingredients through recipes to menu price and stock. What you can do • Ingredients — Log purchase price, usable yield, wastage, units, and on-hand stock • Recipes — Build prep recipes from ingredients (or other recipes) with exact quantities • Menu items — Price dishes with live cost, profit, and margin from your recipe tree • Stock — Adjust stock, record sales, and spot low inventory before service • Dashboard — See margin pressure, top cost drivers, wastage, and low-stock alerts at a glance Built for operators Your data stays on your account. Sign in on web or mobile, manage costs from the floor or the office, and delete your account anytime from Settings. Low-stock alerts (mobile) Optional local notifications warn you when an ingredient hits its threshold. Alerts stay on your device — Zen Chef does not run remote push marketing. Whether you run a café, cloud kitchen, or full-service restaurant, Zen Chef turns messy spreadsheets into clear, actionable food-cost numbers.
