Build a menu engineering application for cafés, food stalls, restaurants, bakeries, and small food businesses that need to improve profitability without making operations unnecessarily complicated.
Let users enter ingredient costs, portion sizes, selling prices, packaging costs, preparation time, sales quantities, waste, and shared ingredients across menu items.
Calculate estimated contribution margin per item, identify ingredients responsible for the greatest cost exposure, and compare menu popularity with profitability. Detect dishes that share too few ingredients, require unusually long preparation, or create inventory waste.
Create a scenario planner for changing portion sizes, adjusting prices, replacing ingredients, bundling products, and simplifying the menu. Show how each change affects margin, preparation workload, and ingredient demand.
Include a recipe cost calculator, supplier price update workflow, menu comparison view, and downloadable costing sheets.
Keep ingredient quantities and prices editable, distinguish contribution margin from net profit, and avoid recommending price changes without accounting for customer demand and local market constraints.
