- Restaurant, café, bakery, and food-truck operators
- Worth noticing
- The free browser check accounts for sales tax and whether the menu price includes it.
Field notes
The browser calculator takes ingredient cost per portion, menu price, sales tax, tax inclusion, and target food-cost percentage; it returns net price, ingredient margin, and a suggested target price. The downloadable workbook is an Excel file with a PDF manual, sold through Etsy for one business; the site says it has no macros or add-ins and works offline. Labour costing, menu engineering, inventory, and HACCP sheets are marked coming soon.
