What gets in the way in full-service dining

  • Your menu changes, your costs do not follow

    Daily specials, seasonal menus: every change should mean redoing the numbers. In practice the recipe card dates from opening day and the ratio is a guess.

  • Ten suppliers, ten sets of moving prices

    The greengrocer, the butcher, the fishmonger, the cellar: each adjusts prices their own way. An 8% rise on a cut of meat goes unnoticed until the month’s margin has already dropped.

  • Theory never matches reality

    Portions drift during service, waste goes unrecorded, and so do comps. The gap between what your dishes should have cost and what they did cost stays invisible.

What FoodCostOS changes

  • A ratio that updates with every price change

    Your recipe cards and sub-recipes recalculate as soon as a purchase price moves. You immediately know which dishes are affected, and by how much.

  • Price rises caught before the invoice

    The supplier invoice is read and matched against your order: price above the agreed rate, missing quantity, extra line. You dispute before you pay.

  • The theory-versus-reality gap, in euros

    Sales flow in from your POS, waste is logged in two taps. The gap shows up as a figure — and that is where the recoverable margin sits.

Frequently asked questions in full-service dining

How many recipe cards do I need to get started?

Your twenty best-selling dishes are enough: they make up most of your revenue. Occasional dishes can wait. You can import ingredients from a CSV to avoid hours of data entry.

What if my menu changes every week?

Create one card per version rather than editing the same one repeatedly: you keep the cost history and can compare profitability from one season to the next.

Do I need a compatible POS?

No. The connection brings real time and removes re-keying, but FoodCostOS works standalone with manual entry or an import of your sales.
