It's Sunday night. Monday's delivery is already booked, three dishes need re-costing against this month's supplier prices, and the waste log hasn't been looked at properly in a fortnight.

Read what comes back and use it
It takes seconds. Change anything you do not like, print it, or send it to your team.
There is nothing to install. Nothing to set up. Nothing to connect to your booking system.
WHAT THE PAPERWORK IS COSTING YOU NOW
Operating costs grew roughly twice as fast as revenue across the industry last year, and food-cost inflation has been one of the sharpest parts of that squeeze (CBRE, 2025).
Around 1 in 2 frontline hospitality managers, kitchen and floor supervisors included, describe themselves as burned out (Axonify, 2024).
And every Sunday-night costing session, every stock count nobody had time for, is time that isn't going into the actual cooking or the floor.

TRY ONE FOR FREE
Here is a free prompt. Use it on tonight’s work.
TRY IT FREE
Here's my recipe with quantities [paste] and my latest supplier prices [paste]. Cost the dish per portion and show the margin at a menu price of [X]. Name the two ingredients driving the cost and suggest one swap that keeps the dish's character and improves margin by at least [5] points.
Host variant: works exactly the same for a breakfast hamper or an add-on package, paste what's in it and what it costs you, and the margin math is the same.
Run it before your next dish goes on the menu, not after a quarter of thin margins explains why. If it doesn't earn its keep, the other 27 prompts are £19.99.
