What is food costing software?
Food costing software calculates exactly what each product costs to make by adding up ingredient costs, labor, and overhead across a recipe. Stocksmith does this automatically, updates it as ingredient prices change, and suggests wholesale and retail prices—so you price for profit instead of guessing.
How does food costing software keep up with changing ingredient prices?
Every time you record a new purchase price, Stocksmith recalculates the cost of every recipe that uses that ingredient. You see updated margins straight away and can raise prices before rising costs quietly turn your best seller into a loss—the kind of margin erosion spreadsheets hide for months.
Can I factor in labor and overhead, not just ingredients?
Yes. Add labor time and an overhead percentage to each recipe for a true, fully-loaded cost per unit—not just the cost of ingredients. That's the difference between a price that looks profitable and one that actually is once your time and fixed costs are covered.
