PlateCost - Food Cost

PlateCost is the fastest way for chefs to cost a dish.

Paste your supplier's price list — or upload a PDF, Excel or CSV — and your whole ingredient library gets priced in one go.

Type your ingredients in plain kitchen language and PlateCost does the math: the grams, the cost per portion, the foodcost percentage and your margin — instantly.

• Price list import — Paste a price list or upload a PDF, Excel or CSV file. The AI reads it, matches your ingredients and updates every price in one tap — big jumps get flagged for review first.
• Smart units — Don't know the weight of "1 tbsp of honey" or "1 slice of tomato"? The AI helper weighs it, shows its reasoning, and remembers it for next time.
• Foodcost traffic light — Green under 30%, orange 30–35%, red over 35% (adjustable). See at a glance which dishes eat your margin.
• One ingredient list, one price — Change a price once and every dish that uses it recalculates automatically.
• Sub-recipes — Build a stock or a sauce once and reuse it; its cost flows through to every dish.
• Allergens — Get an allergen suggestion per ingredient.
• Available in 10 languages, from English to Japanese.
• Works offline — Your recipes stay on your device. No account required.

PlateCost Pro (optional) syncs your recipes and prices across devices — try it free for 14 days.

PlateCost is a calculator, not an ERP: no stock, no dashboards, no clutter — just the fastest cost sheet in the kitchen.
