The Food Platter Analyser

Most bar and restaurant owners price their food by guessing or copying competitors. They have no idea what their actual food cost percentage is — and it's costing them thousands every year.

The Food Platter Cost Calculator fixes that in minutes. Enter your cost per piece and your sale price — the spreadsheet tells you exactly what you're making on every item you sell.
