Recipe costing · Control costs

Know what every plate costs you, and what it earns.

Build each dish's recipe once, by typing or by saying it out loud. Digital Eatery works out food cost %, cost per plate and margin per plate, and puts your best sellers at the top so you fix the dishes that matter first.

Price with confidence

See the food cost % and margin per plate next to each dish's price, and spot the ones priced too low.

Fix the dishes that matter first

Dishes are sorted by how many plates sold in the last 30 days, so a thin margin on a best seller shows up at the top.

Stock that follows your sales

The same recipes take ingredients out of stock on every bill, so your inventory moves without anyone touching it.

Why it matters

Most owners know the selling price of every dish and the cost of almost none.

Paneer goes up by ₹40 a kilo and the menu price stays the same for a year. Nobody notices because nobody has the recipe written down with quantities and prices. The margin quietly disappears on the dishes you sell most.

Writing recipes into software usually means a weekend of typing. Here the cook can say the recipe out loud and you check it.

FAQ

Recipe costing: questions owners ask

Can I really speak a recipe instead of typing it?

Yes. Press "Say the recipe", speak the ingredients and amounts, and the app lists them matched to your ingredients. You review every line before adding it. Voice needs internet.

Which languages does voice understand?

Auto-detect, English, Hindi, Punjabi, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. Mixed Hindi and English works too.

Do recipes reduce stock automatically?

Yes. Every bill takes the dish's ingredients out of stock, including the ingredients inside base recipes.

Do I need a recipe for every size?

No. Larger sizes can scale from the first size by price ratio. You can still set a separate recipe where the size is made differently.
