Costing that stays accurate as prices move
Recipe costing is easy to do once and almost impossible to keep current by hand. Suppliers change pack sizes, prices drift through the season, and a dish that ran a 28% food cost in spring can quietly reach 38% by autumn. On a spreadsheet you find out when the profit is already gone.
Savrsoft costs each recipe from its ingredients, unit conversions, yields and trim loss, then rolls that cost into every menu, quote and event that uses it. Update a price once and everything downstream re-costs itself — so the food-cost % you see is today's, not last quarter's.

How Savrsoft costs a recipe
- Build your price book. Add ingredients with pack price and size — 5 kg of flour at $9.40, say — or import a supplier order guide and let Savrsoft pick the cheapest source per item.
- Enter the recipe. Savrsoft converts units (metric or imperial, weight or volume) and applies yield and waste, so a 12% trim loss is priced in rather than ignored.
- Set a target food cost. Give it a target percentage and it back-solves the menu price — or flags any dish already over target.
- Import to skip the typing. Paste a recipe URL or a photo and AI drafts the costed recipe for you to check.
A worked example: a recipe using $18.60 of ingredients at a 28% food-cost target prices at about $66.43. Negotiate your protein down 10% and the suggested price updates the moment you save — across every menu that dish appears on.
Frequently asked questions
How does recipe costing work in Savrsoft?
You keep a price book of ingredients with their purchase units and costs. Each recipe pulls those prices to show cost per serving and food-cost percentage, and it updates whenever an ingredient price changes.
Can I import my existing recipes?
Yes — import from any recipe website by URL, or snap a photo of a card or cookbook page and AI reads the ingredients and method into the system.
Does it convert between metric and imperial, including baking weights?
Yes. It converts metric and imperial units and uses ingredient densities to convert volume to weight (e.g. cups of flour to grams) for baking accuracy.
