🧮 Restaurant Recipe Costing Software

Cost every recipe. Know your margin on every plate.

Most restaurant owners price their menu by feel and find out the actual margin after the fact. OwnerClone costs every recipe to the ingredient level — and when your distributor raises prices, Cheffy recalculates every affected item automatically.

Powered by Cheffy

Your kitchen AI. Cheffy builds and costs your recipe library, tracks ingredient prices from invoices, and recalculates margins automatically when your costs change.

How it works

Step 1

Build your recipe library

Enter ingredients by unit — grams, ounces, each, cup. Cheffy pulls current costs from your forwarded invoices and calculates cost per serving for every recipe in real time.

Step 2

Ingredient prices update from invoices

When you forward a new invoice from your distributor, Cheffy reads the new unit prices and recalculates every recipe that uses those ingredients — automatically, without you touching anything.

Step 3

See margin on every menu item

Cheffy shows you cost per serving, theoretical menu price for your target food cost %, and actual margin at your current price. Sort by margin to see your most and least profitable items at a glance.

Step 4

Track yield to the real cost

Theoretical recipe cost assumes perfect yield. Cheffy tracks your actual prep yield so your food cost reflects reality — including trim loss, cooking loss, and portioning variance.
