Hi Product Hunt! š
I'm Davide, the solo independent developer behind Foodlio.
Ingredient prices keep fluctuating constantly, and many kitchens still manage food cost calculations in messy spreadsheets that quickly go out of date.
Foodlio recalculates every linked recipe and portion margin automatically whenever an ingredient price is updated once.
Key features:
ā¢ š³ Cost per portion, food cost percentage, and unit margins calculated instantly.
ā¢ š Menu Engineering matrix: categorize dishes into Stars, Plowhorses, Puzzles, and Dogs.
ā¢ š” Smart recommended menu pricing based on your target food cost percentage.
ā¢ š Clean PDF recipe cards, reports, and ingredient inventory valuation.
ā¢ š 100% Private: your recipes, costs, and supplier data stay on your device.
A practical note: margin in the app is gross margin (selling price minus raw ingredients); it does not include labor, rent, or overhead.
You can get started completely free with your first recipes and ingredients. I'd love to hear from chefs, restaurant owners, and food makers: how do you keep food costs under control today?
