A new partnership gives hospitality operators real-time visibility into food costs, margins, and purchasing decisions, all in one connected workflow.

In hospitality, every purchasing decision impacts profitability. Yet for many culinary teams, recipe management, food costing, and procurement still live in separate systems, making it difficult to understand how changing ingredient prices affect menu performance and margins.

That's why we're excited to announce our new partnership with Folio, the financial operations and procurement platform built specifically for hospitality operators.

Together, meez and Folio are creating a more connected experience for chefs, culinary teams, and hospitality operators by bringing recipe intelligence and procurement data into a single workflow. The partnership will help operators make faster, more informed decisions while reducing the manual work required to manage costs across multiple systems.

Bringing Culinary and Procurement Data Together

With the new partnership, teams can plan recipes, manage products, monitor food costs, track margins, and place orders from a unified workflow.

By connecting meez's recipe operating system with Folio's procurement platform, operators gain greater visibility into profitability at both the recipe and ingredient level, helping them understand exactly how supplier pricing and purchasing decisions impact their bottom line.

"As food costs continue to fluctuate, hotel and hospitality F&B operators need better tools to understand how purchasing decisions impact profitability," said Kate Adamson, CEO and co-founder of Folio. "Our new partnership with meez is intended to help chefs and F&B leaders within hotel properties connect procurement with recipe intelligence, so they can make faster, more informed decisions, while maintaining quality and controlling costs."

Key Benefits of the Partnership

Recipe-Level Cost Visibility

Operators can view food costs at both the recipe and ingredient level, making it easier to identify top-performing menu items and uncover dishes that may be negatively impacting margins.

Real-Time Margin Tracking

As supplier pricing changes, culinary teams can quickly understand how those changes affect recipe profitability and overall menu performance—without relying on spreadsheets or manual calculations.

Smarter Purchasing Workflows

Teams can meal plan, evaluate ingredient options, and place procurement orders within the same workflow. This helps reduce duplicate work, improve purchasing efficiency, and ensure decisions are grounded in accurate cost data.

Helping Hospitality Operators Navigate Rising Costs

The partnership arrives at a time when hospitality operators continue to face pressure from food cost volatility, labor challenges, and increasing demands for operational efficiency.

By connecting recipe management and procurement, meez and Folio provide teams with a clearer picture of the financial impact of everyday kitchen decisions—allowing operators to balance consistency, quality, and profitability more effectively.

"We're excited to partner with Folio to bring greater financial visibility into the kitchen," said Josh Sharkey, CEO of meez. "Chefs should not have to rely on disconnected systems or spreadsheets to understand profitability. Together, we're creating a more seamless experience that helps teams make smarter operational decisions every day."
