Methodus is recipe costing, inventory, and team training for independent restaurants and bars — built by operators, for operators.

What it does

Recipe costing in real time. Snap an invoice and ingredient prices update across every recipe that uses them. Build a spec sheet once; Methodus keeps its food cost current as prices move. See your actual pour cost and plate cost — not last month's estimate.

Stock counting from your phone. Walk the walk-in, count from your phone, and see theoretical-vs-actual variance by the time you're back at the bar. No clipboards, no spreadsheets.

Menu engineering from real data. Know which items make money and which quietly bleed it — stars, plowhorses, puzzles, and dogs, calculated from your actual POS sales and real ingredient costs.

Team training that lives in the product. Spec sheets, prep methods, and training quizzes auto-generated from your recipes. Staff learn the menu the way you built it, in the language they speak.

Who it's for

Independent venues — restaurants, bars, cocktail bars, cafés, and hotel F&B — that want to stop guessing their margins and start running on real numbers.

Pricing

From $69/month per venue. 14-day free trial, no card required. Works in English, French, Spanish, German, and Arabic, with voice capture in 40+ languages.
