🧾 Scan Invoices, Skip the Typing
Snap a photo of any delivery invoice and Freecost pulls out the line items for you. Approve them on the web and your ingredient prices update everywhere—no spreadsheets, no manual entry.

📊 Know What Every Dish Costs
See live food-cost percentages and profit margins on every menu item. Build recipes that cost themselves down to the gram, with a green-to-red margin check so you catch the dishes that are quietly losing money.
