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.
