Recipeculator

Recipeculator turns your supplier prices into the numbers that actually run a food business: what each recipe costs, what each product costs to sell, and what a whole menu costs before you shop for it.

COST EVERY RECIPE PROPERLY
• Enter what you buy and what you pay — Recipeculator works out the cost of every recipe from it
• Unit prices that make sense: per kg, per litre, per plate, per piece
• Weight, volume and count units convert automatically, including cross-conversions by density
• Sub-recipes: use a stock, sauce or dough as an ingredient in another recipe
• Batch scaling for large orders

COUNT THE COSTS THAT AREN'T INGREDIENTS
• Electricity, gas, labour and packaging, charged at rates you set once
• Change a rate and every recipe using it reprices at a stroke
• Say whether a cost multiplies with batch size — an oven two batches share doesn't, labour does
• Anything billed by the hour can follow the recipe's prep time automatically
• Add your own: water, delivery, equipment time

PRICE WHAT YOU SELL, NOT JUST WHAT YOU COOK
• A recipe is a method; a product is a portion of it, in its packaging, at a price
• Build a small pot and a large tub from the same recipe and price them separately
• Packaging is costed per product, so the big one isn't simply four times the small one
• Group products by channel — market, catering, pop-up — and keep the price lists apart
• Food cost percentage and profit on every product

PLAN AND COST A WHOLE MENU
• Build menus from any recipes — no selling price required
• Scale each one: 2× the terrine, 3× the tart
• See the cost price of the entire service as you build it

A SHOPPING LIST THAT ADDS ITSELF UP
• One consolidated list for the whole menu, already scaled
• Ingredients used in several recipes are added together
• Quantities in the units you actually buy in
• Tick items off as you shop, with the current price beside each one
• Photograph the receipt and the total, date and shop are read for you, then compared with your estimate

COST WHAT YOU ACTUALLY USE
• Set a waste percentage on any ingredient — 1 kg of tomatoes yielding 900 g usable costs what it really costs
• Shopping lists gross quantities back up, so you buy enough
• Ingredients whose price hasn't been updated in months are flagged, so nothing is costed on last year's invoice

SHARE WITH YOUR KITCHEN
• Send recipes, ingredients, menus or products as one file
• Works between different Apple IDs — no shared account needed
• Recipes carry their ingredients, sub-recipes and utility rates, so costs arrive intact
• On import you decide what happens to anything you already have

KNOW YOUR MARGINS
• Food cost percentage and profit per portion
• A target food cost you set yourself
• Price history, so you can see when a supplier crept up
• Professional PDF cost reports with the shopping list attached

WORKS THE WAY A KITCHEN DOES
• Everything syncs across your iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud
• Your data stays yours — private iCloud, no account, no server of ours
• Works offline; changes merge when you reconnect
• Organise with your own categories, not just ours
• CSV import and export for your whole library
• 15 currencies
