What you get

Recipe costing

Each dish linked to its recipe, costed from your latest purchase prices: cost per plate and margin per dish.

Stock that deducts per sale

Every bill takes its ingredients out of stock, recipe by recipe, with low-stock alerts.

Wastage on its own line

Spoilage, comps and staff meals logged as their own category, so you can see what they cost.

Supplier bills read for you

Photograph or forward a supplier bill and it is read, categorised and posted, with stock matched. Big spends wait for approval.

Stock counts

Count on a fixed day and the difference against what the recipes say you used is there to look at.

Food cost in the books

Purchases and stock post to real accounts, so food cost in the profit and loss is the real one.

Questions

Do I have to enter every recipe?

Recipes are what make food cost per dish possible, so yes, but only once; re-cost when a major ingredient’s price moves. The EasyBills team can help bring them over from your old system.

Can it read supplier bills?

Yes. Photograph or forward a supplier bill; it is read, categorised and posted, with stock matched, and large amounts wait for your approval.

What is the difference between actual and theoretical food cost?

Theoretical is what your recipes say you should have used for what you sold; actual is what stock and purchases say you used. The gap is over-portioning, wastage, comps or errors.

How much does it cost?

One plan with everything included: $20 per outlet a month, or $200 a year (two months free). No setup fee, no contract; cancel any time.
