Supplier prices up again? VAT changes? Menu Book shows you exactly how every cost increase affects your dishes—so you can adjust prices with confidence, not guesswork.
Built by food service operators, for food service operators
The Reality
Another email, another price increase. But which dishes does it actually affect? And by how much?
When VAT rates shift, recalculating every dish by hand is a nightmare. Most people just absorb the hit.
You know costs have gone up. You think you're still profitable. But you can't say for certain which dishes are winners and which are losers.
How It Works
When your supplier raises prices, just update the ingredient once. Menu Book instantly recalculates every affected dish.
Your burger uses your special sauce. Your sauce uses 6 ingredients. Change one price and everything updates automatically.
Whether you price inclusive or exclusive, buy VAT-exempt or standard-rated—Menu Book handles it all without the headache.
Buy cheese by the kilo, use it by the gram. Buy rolls by the bag, use them individually. No more mental maths.
Track where every ingredient comes from. When one supplier raises prices, instantly see if switching makes sense.
Instant reports show which dishes are hitting your margin targets and which need attention. No more guessing.
Simple web interface for daily use. Powerful command line for bulk updates. Your recipes, your data, your control.
