Know what every dish costs you. And what you should be charging.

See at a glance where your cost price comes from

Not every ingredient carries the same weight. In your Cost breakdown you see straight away which products drive your cost price, with the amount and share, biggest first.

Often it's just one. That one cheese, that one cut of meat, that one bottle of oil that makes up 40% of a dish on its own. That's the ingredient worth watching closely when you buy. The rest is noise.

See what changed, and what it cost you

A supplier putting 20% on a garnish isn't news. The same 20% on your main component is.

What's changed shows per dish which ingredients moved, and what that movement cost in this dish. From last week or the last month, in one click. Biggest impact at the top, drops shown in green.

So you don't just know your cost price went up, you know exactly why.

Know what you should be charging

Enter your target margin, or your target food cost if that's how you work, and you see the selling price straight away. Excluding and including VAT. One click to apply it.

And because we don't believe in numbers you just have to trust: every suggestion comes with the formula and your own figures filled in. Check the working any time you like.

From bulk pack to cost price per unit

Your wholesaler charges by the box, not the piece. You don't order a litre of milk, you order a pack of twelve.

Just enter what's on your invoice, say £18.40 for a box of 6, and Catermonkey works out the cost price per pack for you. It works the other way too: type in the unit price, and the box price follows. Whatever you enter, the two always add up.

Sub-recipes are covered too

A bolognese sauce in your base tomato sauce, in your spaghetti, in your Italian buffet. If that tomato gets more expensive three levels down, you'll see it reflected in the price of your buffet.

Including a note of which sub-recipe it came from, so you know exactly where to go to adjust it.

Track the price of your ingredients over time

A chart of cost price per unit for every ingredient, plus a full log: what changed, when, and by whom or which price list.

Handy when you're negotiating with your supplier. Even handier when you want to know whether that one price rise was a one-off, or a trend.

One truth, everywhere

The cost price on your product card, on your shopping list, in your order lines and in your revenue reporting all come from the same calculation. No two screens contradicting each other, no figure that reads differently somewhere else.

That sounds obvious. It rarely is.
