Cost every dish
Recipes, measures and a calculator that counts everything a plate really costs.
Dishes, pastry and drinks
One recipe library with tabs for Dishes, Pastry and Drinks. Drinks can be made in-house or bought by the crate or pack to resell.
Measure the way you cook
Use part of a pack, an exact weight, or whole items. Cost a pot of stew without weighing every cube of seasoning.
Costing calculator
Food cost with waste, plus labour and extras like gas, transport and packaging. Set a profit markup or your own price and check the food cost ratio.
Cost an event per guest
Planning a party or a catering job? Cost it by the number of guests and see the cost per head.
Keep up with the market
Record what you paid, see how it moves, and know when a price needs a second look.
Market lists
Record what you paid, by the bag, the crate or the piece. Prices feed every recipe that uses them, and a price change can update them all at once.
Price history
See the last 12 prices you paid for each ingredient, so a creeping price is easy to spot.
Price check
When ingredient prices move, CostKit points out the recipes affected, so your selling prices keep up with the market.
Sell at a profit
Menus, saved costings and reports that turn your numbers into prices.
Menus, costed per plate
Build dine-in, catering or takeout menus and see the cost, selling price and profit per plate.
Saved costings
Save every costing to your library, reopen it later and update it when prices change.
Profit trends
Your Home screen shows the profit on the costings you saved over the last 7 days, and your average margin.
PDF export
Export a costing report, a recipe, a market list, or a menu as a customer menu card or an internal costing overview.
Run the business
For kitchens with a team and monthly bills to cover.
Staff and labour
Add your team with daily or monthly pay. In a costing, labour is counted by the days a batch takes.
Overheads and a sales target
Track rent, power and other bills, and see the sales you need each month to cover your team and bills.
Personal or Business
Personal keeps CostKit simple for home cooks. Business adds staff, overheads and the monthly sales target. Switch any time in Settings.
Made for the way you work
Quick to start, in your currency, on the device you already have.
A guided first run
