Price your menu on certainty, not guesswork
Recipe costing, butchery yield testing, portion-control audits and menu engineering in one standalone Odoo app — from ingredient cost to menu margin, with no paid parent module to buy.
The problem
Food cost is the single biggest controllable expense in a restaurant, yet most kitchens price dishes on gut feel, never account for trim and yield loss on proteins, and review menu profitability once a quarter from an exported spreadsheet. The tools that exist split recipe costing, butchery yield, portion audits and menu engineering into separate paid apps that do not share data with each other or with your POS.
The solution
This app connects the entire lifecycle in one place: ingredient costing and allergen tracking feed multi-level recipes, butchery yield tests automatically reprice the ingredients that use them, portion audits turn gram variance into dollars, and a menu-engineering matrix fed by your POS sales classifies every dish as a Star, Plowhorse, Puzzle or Dog — standalone, with no paid parent module required.
Everything you need to cost and engineer your menu
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Multi-Level Recipes & Sub-Recipes
Build recipes from ingredients and other recipes with unlimited nesting. A sauce or prep item costed once rolls its cost into every dish that uses it, with automatic cycle detection to stop runaway references.
Ingredient Costing & Unit Conversion
Maintain an ingredient master with supplier cross-reference and sourcing category, with package-to-unit conversion so a 25 kg sack or case price becomes an accurate cost per gram or portion automatically.
True Plate Cost, Including Waste
Factor packaging cost lines and a configurable trim/waste allowance percentage into every recipe, so the cost per portion reflects what the kitchen actually uses, not just the raw ingredient total.
Food Cost % and Suggested Pricing
See food cost percentage, gross margin and contribution margin per dish at a glance, and let the recipe suggest a menu price from your target food-cost percentage instead of guessing.
Price Simulation Before You Publish
Model a new selling price or target food-cost percentage in a wizard and preview the resulting margin before committing the change to the live recipe.
Butchery Yield Testing
Record as-purchased weight and price, trim and bone loss, cook loss and portions obtained to calculate true yield percentage and cost per kilo after waste — then push that cost straight into every recipe using the ingredient.
Portion-Control Audits
Weigh a plated sample against its spec weight and tolerance to capture variance in grams and percent, then see the cost of that variance per portion and scaled to a standard service volume such as 100 covers.
Menu Engineering Quadrant Analysis
Classify every dish as a Star, Plowhorse, Puzzle or Dog by plotting sales popularity against contribution margin, with portions-sold and sales-velocity figures pulled straight from Point of Sale.
Allergen Tracking & Dish Warnings
Tag allergens on each ingredient and let the recipe compute a color-coded allergen warning automatically, so the kitchen always has an accurate, up-to-date allergen index for every dish.
How it works
Build Ingredients & Recipes
Set up ingredients with package costing and allergens, then build multi-level recipes and sub-recipes with automatic cost roll-up.
Run Yield Tests & Portion Audits
Butchery yield tests feed true post-waste ingredient cost into recipes; portion audits compare plated weight to spec and flag variance.
Confirm Costs & Simulate Pricing
Review food cost %, margin and suggested price per dish, then simulate a price or target change before publishing it.
Analyze Menu Performance
Pull sales data from POS to classify every dish on the menu-engineering matrix and spot which items to promote, reprice or cut.
