I will create a professional and editable Excel recipe costing system that helps you calculate accurate food costs and make better pricing decisions.
As a professional chef with extensive hands-on kitchen experience, I understand that recipe costing must be accurate, practical and easy to update.
Depending on your package, your workbook can include:
- Ingredient purchase prices and unit conversions
- Recipe and batch cost calculations
- Cost per portion
- Yield and waste calculations
- Food cost percentage
- Suggested selling prices
- Contribution margin
- Editable ingredient database
- Automated Excel dashboard

This service is suitable for restaurants, cafes, hotels, bakeries, catering businesses, cloud kitchens and food startups.
Packages cover up to 3, 10 or 20 recipes. You will receive an editable Excel workbook that can be updated whenever ingredient prices change.
Please message me before ordering if you have more than 20 recipes or if your information needs significant organization.
