I can’t tell you how much time I’ve saved costing recipes. I used to spend hours in front of Excel trying to figure out costs and yields. Now it’s easier to see trends. I’m able to look at it and see the things we need to increase cost on.

meez makes our costing process very precise. Whenever there is a recipe or a cocktail that needs to be made, we write down every aspect of it, put it into meez, and it spits out a cost per serving.

It’s so quick to cost recipes. It takes 1/4 of the time to cost them and we have live purchasing data which is really, really helpful. The big thing is our chefs don’t need to sit and update costs, it’s all automated.

meez costs every recipe automatically using a built-in database of 3,000+ ingredients — with yields, prep loss, and unit-of-measure conversions already built in. Enter a recipe once and get an accurate ingredient cost calculator that updates itself every time a price changes.
meez automatically generates your cost per meal, portion cost, food cost percentage, and gross profit for every recipe. See your food cost % update as you swap out ingredients. Ensure pricing decisions are always based on real numbers, not guesswork.

When supplier prices change, meez updates every affected recipe cost automatically. Connect your invoices or purchasing system and meez handles the rest. Access a restaurant food cost calculator that's always working off current data, not last month's prices.
See your true theoretical menu costs, profit per item, and revenue impact before you make a change. Adjust sell prices, swap ingredients, or model a new menu. meez shows you the financial impact of every decision in real time.





Recipe costing software calculates the exact cost of every dish by factoring in ingredient prices, prep yields, waste percentages, and batch sizes. It gives operators real-time visibility into food cost per portion, helping them price menus profitably.
meez pulls live ingredient prices (either entered manually or synced from your purchasing system), applies yield adjustments based on actual prep loss, and calculates cost per portion automatically. Every sub-recipe cost rolls up into parent recipes, so your totals are always accurate.
Food cost percentage is the ratio of ingredient costs to menu selling price, typically targeting 28–35% for most restaurant concepts. meez calculates and displays food cost percentage on every recipe.
Theoretical food cost is what you should spend if every recipe is executed perfectly. Actual food cost reflects real spending, including waste, over-portioning, and theft. meez helps you establish accurate theoretical costs so you can identify and close the gap when actuals run high.
Yes. With accurate recipe costs in meez, you can instantly see your gross profit and food cost % for every menu item — and run what-if scenarios when ingredient prices change. This makes menu pricing decisions data-driven rather than guesswork.
