Running specials shouldn't feel like gambling
You spend hours dreaming up the perfect special, source the ingredients, prep the kitchen — then realize you're barely breaking even. Or worse, losing money on every plate.
Hidden costs
Ingredient prices change weekly. That "cheap" special might be eating your margins.
Wasted time
Spreadsheets, napkin math, and guesswork eat into hours you should spend cooking.
Stale menus
Without fresh ideas, regulars get bored and new customers have no reason to walk in.
From idea to profitable special in minutes
Track your real costs
Enter your ingredients with purchase prices. We calculate cost-per-unit automatically and update every recipe when prices change.
Generate specials with AI
Tell our AI what you have on hand, a seasonal theme, or a price target. It creates costed-out recipe ideas you can run as profitable specials.
Print, prep, profit
Print kitchen-ready instructions for your team. Know your margin before a single plate goes out. Run specials with confidence.
Built for the way you actually work
No bloated restaurant management suite. Just the tools you need to run profitable specials and keep your menu fresh.
Instant margin visibility
See your food cost percentage and profit margin the moment you build a recipe. Set a menu price and know exactly what you'll make per plate.
AI that knows your kitchen
Our AI sees your ingredient inventory and prices. It suggests specials that use what you already have, minimize waste, and hit your cost targets.
Sub-recipes & prep lists
Build sauces, doughs, and bases as sub-recipes. Costs cascade automatically so your specials always reflect the true cost of every component.
Price change protection
When a supplier raises prices, every affected recipe updates automatically. You'll spot margin erosion before it hits your bank account.
The numbers behind better specials
Independent restaurants and cafes using cost-aware menu planning consistently see stronger margins.
