Restaurant recipe costing tools cost $150-300/mo, lock you into annual contracts, and take weeks to set up. They’re built for chains, not for the chef-owner running a single location. DishCost does one thing well: you enter your recipes and ingredient prices, and it tells you exactly what every dish costs you to make. When a supplier raises prices, every affected recipe updates instantly. $39/mo, no contracts. There’s a free account if you want to try it first.
