Description

CostGuard is a food costing software that enables the immediate costing and recalibration of recipes and menus. By offering suggestions for selling prices aligned with global and category benchmarks, it ensures that your ideal recipe and menu costs are finely tuned. The software’s menu engineering reports effectively highlight both “winners and losers,” enhancing your ability to boost sales and maximize profits. Additionally, CostGuard assesses shrinkage, or loss, across major food categories, smaller subsets, and even specific items. With 'Alert' reports that present usage and shrinkage data organized by dollar values, every dollar saved contributes directly to your profits. By consolidating all the overwhelming data you encounter daily, including those hidden figures, CostGuard provides you with straightforward, actionable insights that drive your business forward and help in making informed decisions. Ultimately, this software streamlines your financial management in the food industry, ensuring you remain competitive and efficient.

Description

PrepSheet is an online tool designed for food costing and menu pricing specifically for kitchens in the UK, created by an experienced chef. Users can input the prices of ingredient packs along with recipe quantities to determine batch costs, portion costs, food-cost percentages, and gross profits based on the selling price excluding VAT. The platform allows for recipe scaling to accommodate a selected number of servings and provides options to print out prep sheets for convenience. The basic calculator and recipe workspace are accessible via a web browser, and users can opt for an account to synchronize their recipes across multiple devices. In addition, PrepSheet Plus enhances functionality with features such as invoice scanning, automatic price updates, alerts for dish-level gross profit, and the ability to sync up to 500 recipes. A complimentary, read-only MCP connector is available, enabling compatible AI assistants to assist with recipe costing, gross profit calculations for the UK market, starter recipe retrieval, and preparation list generation. Furthermore, PrepSheet provides various downloadable templates for kitchen management, including sheets for tracking food costs, allergens, and inventory counts, making it a comprehensive resource for culinary professionals. The tool not only simplifies financial calculations but also streamlines kitchen operations for greater efficiency.
