KitchenCost

KitchenCost is a recipe costing and menu pricing app for chefs, bakers, caterers, and small food businesses. It helps you turn ingredient prices into total recipe cost, cost per serving, food cost %, and profitable selling prices without relying on spreadsheets. With reusable sub-recipes and an offline-first workflow, it fits the way real kitchens and small teams actually work.

Key Features

• Recipe costing: Add ingredient prices, quantities, and units once, then instantly calculate total recipe cost, cost per serving, and ingredient-level breakdowns.
• Target-based pricing: Set a target food cost or margin and get a suggested selling price so you can price menu items with more confidence.
• Reusable sub-recipes: Build components like sauces, doughs, fillings, and dressings as sub-recipes and reuse them across multiple dishes.
• Offline-first setup: Start without an account, keep data on your device by default, and enable sync only when you choose to.
