Calculate recipe costs in seconds, track calories and allergens for every recipe with official data, and keep your menu up to date when prices change. The only software with a barcode scanner and a collaborative catalog built by chefs.
From ingredient costing to profitability analysis, ChefExpenses helps you make informed decisions.
Calculate the exact cost of each recipe instantly. Forget manual spreadsheets and calculation errors.
Collaborate with your team. Assign specific permissions to cooks, station chefs, and operations directors.
Set your sales prices with real data. Know your net profit margin and optimize your menu engineering.
Import allergens, calories and macronutrients from three complementary sources: official Spanish government data, global commercial products, and the ChefExpenses collaborative database of professional chefs. No more transcribing labels by hand.
Spanish Food Composition Database from the BEDCA Consortium and the Spanish Food Safety Agency (AESAN). Scientifically validated.
Scan any commercial product's barcode and get name, brand, confirmed allergens, traces and macros instantly.
When a product isn't in either database, you add it to the catalog. Next time any chef scans it — from any restaurant — they'll find it instantly.
Comply with European allergen regulations without manual transcriptions. The final allergen-compliance responsibility always lies with the establishment — always verify against the actual product label before serving.
In the highly competitive world of hospitality, controlling margins is the difference between success and closing down. ChefExpenses was born to solve the number one problem for chefs: the lack of visibility regarding the real cost of their dishes. With our professional software, we transform manual processes into an efficient digital operation.
Our platform allows for automated recipe costing synced with your purchase prices. This means that if the price of oil goes up today, you will immediately know how it affects the cost of your base recipes and the profit margin of your menu. You no longer need to spend hours on obsolete Excel sheets.
Beyond food cost calculation, ChefExpenses facilitates recipe standardization. It is the ideal tool for restaurant groups that need their dishes to maintain the same quality and profitability across every single venue. Control allergens, generate PDF technical sheets, and analyze sales ratios based on real data.
