DishCost

The $39/mo alternative to $200 recipe costing tools

What it does

Restaurant recipe costing tools cost $150-300/mo, lock you into annual contracts, and take weeks to set up. They’re built for chains, not for the chef-owner running a single location. DishCost does one thing well: you enter your recipes and ingredient prices, and it tells you exactly what every dish costs you to make. When a supplier raises prices, every affected recipe updates instantly. $39/mo, no contracts. There’s a free account if you want to try it first.

    Made a LAN web-based recipe software with a database back-end that lets you save, search, and make meal plans with your recipes! Any suggestions are very welcome. I'm an independent publisher, posting this software. Right now my pricing model is to have a 2 week free trial before it asks for a serial code, which costs $7.
