Recipe costing for coffee shops, cafés, bakeries & restaurants
Know what every cup costs you.
RecipeMate reads your invoices, does the unit conversions, and costs your whole menu. When a supplier raises a price, you hear about it before it shows up in your margin.

Oat milk is up 27%
$4.99 → $6.34 per 64 oz carton, from today's Valley Dairy invoice.
At $5.85 you're back above your 72% target.
From invoice to margin, without the spreadsheet.
No retyping your recipe book, no converting cases to ounces by hand, no rebuilding costs every time a price moves.
01 — IMPORT
Drop in your invoices and recipes.
AI pulls out every item, pack size, and price, and matches them to the ingredients you already use. You review the results instead of typing them.
02 — CONVERT
Buy by the case. Cost by the ounce.
Purchase units convert to recipe units automatically. House-made syrups, sauces, and doughs are costed as sub-recipes, so every drink and plate adds up to the cent.
03 — PROTECT
Catch price hikes before they eat your margin.
When you approve a new price, it flows through every recipe that uses it. You see which items just slipped below your target, and what to charge to fix it.
Shift checklists
Opening to close, everyone works from the same page.
Every task links to the recipe, prep amount, or procedure it needs. Your team knows what to do and how. You see what got done.

Questions
Can I import my existing invoices and recipes?
Yes. Upload invoice PDFs or photos and your recipe files. RecipeMate extracts the items, quantities, and prices, matches them to your ingredients, and asks you to review anything it isn't sure about.
Does it handle unit conversions?
Yes. Buy by the case, gallon, or pound and use grams, ounces, or pumps in your recipes. RecipeMate converts between them, including house-made sub-recipes like syrups and sauces.
How do checklists connect to everything else?
Any checklist task can link to a recipe, a prep calculation, or a step-by-step procedure, so the person doing it has what they need one tap away. You see completion by shift.
Can my team see costs or margins?
No. Staff accounts see recipes, prep, and checklists. Costs, margins, and invoice pricing are visible to owners only.
How much does RecipeMate cost?
$30 a month for founding members, with every feature included. The price stays locked for as long as you're subscribed, and it's open to the first 100 shops. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee.
