KitchenCost is a recipe costing and menu pricing app built for chefs, bakers, caterers, food trucks, cafes, and small restaurants that need clear numbers without spreadsheet chaos. Instead of recalculating costs manually every time an ingredient price changes, you create ingredients once, build recipes from them, and instantly see total cost, cost per serving, food cost %, and a suggested selling price based on your target margin.
The app also supports reusable sub-recipes, which makes it easier to manage prep components like sauces, doughs, fillings, and dressings across multiple menu items. That means pricing stays more accurate as your menu grows and updates become much easier to manage.
KitchenCost is designed to be practical for day-to-day operations. It works offline by default, does not require an account to get started, and keeps data on your device unless you choose to enable sync. For independent chefs and small food businesses, it offers a simpler way to price confidently, save time, and keep margins visible.
Bars and restaurants lose thousands every year to inaccurate inventory. Spreadsheets break, counting takes hours, and shrinkage goes unnoticed until it's too late. BarBrain fixes this. BarBrain is inventory software designed exclusively for hospitality. It replaces manual counting with a fast, digital workflow — scan, tap, done. Every drink and dish gets an exact cost calculation, so you always know your margins. Waste tracking flags problems in real time before they eat your profit. Supplier management keeps orders, price comparisons, and deliveries in one place. Over 1,000 businesses already use BarBrain to cut inventory time by 75%. Whether you run a single cocktail bar, a restaurant group, or a hotel F&B operation — BarBrain gives you the numbers you need to protect your bottom line. 30-day free trial. Plans from €52/mo.

KitchenCost.app's answer
I am the founder of KitchenCost, built to make recipe costing simple and stress-free for chefs and small teams. My focus is on creating a practical tool that replaces spreadsheets and saves time. The goal is to help food businesses price confidently and protect their margins.
BarBrain's answer:
Our co-founder Lukas walked into bars — literally. He went door to door, learned when the owners would be in, came back at the right time, and closed 20 bars in his first month. That hands-on experience shaped everything: a product that's fast to set up, easy to explain, and solves a problem every operator knows but most tools ignore.
BarBrain's answer:
Most alternatives are either too complex (built for enterprise chains) or too generic (built for retail). BarBrain hits the sweet spot: powerful enough for multi-location operators, simple enough to set up in a 20-minute call. Starting at €52/mo, it's a fraction of what competitors charge.
BarBrain's answer:
BarBrain is built exclusively for hospitality — not adapted from warehouse or retail software. It understands pours, recipes, perishables, and how bars and restaurants actually operate. Setup takes minutes, not weeks.
