Item cost at weighted-average
Cost is not the last purchase price; it is the weighted average across every batch of ingredients.

The numbers that decide your real profit
Cost, margin, waste, and variance — computed automatically from recipes and stock movements.
COGS report
Cost of goods sold for any period, split by branch and item, ready for the books.
Per-dish margin
Selling price minus cost on every dish, so you know what earns and where the leak is.
Waste tracking
Log spoilage with a daily reason and turn it into a visible cost, not a forgotten number.
Stock variance
Theoretical vs actual quantity, isolating the item, branch, and window behind the gap.
Reorder forecasting
Based on historical consumption, we tell you when to reorder before you actually run out.
Menu engineering
Sort your items into Stars, Plowhorses, Puzzles, and Dogs
A margin × velocity matrix places every item in its quadrant. Promote the stars, retire or reprice the dogs — hard calls become obvious.

FAQ
Common questions
Answers about cost of sales and margin.
The COGS report shows each item's cost within the ticket and net margin — winners and losers, clearly.
It classifies your menu into four quadrants: stars (high demand + high margin), plowhorses (high demand, low margin), puzzles (high margin, low demand), and dogs (low both). It guides keep, re-price, or drop decisions.
Yes. Count waste, manually-logged waste, and theoretical-vs-actual variance all surface with a clear money value.
Yes. Reorder forecasts use your historical consumption to suggest the right quantity per item — so you avoid both stockouts and pile-ups.
Yes. Cost figures come from real inventory and accounting entries, not estimates — so you trust the numbers without manual reconciliation.
