- New Zealand cafés, bakeries and lunch bars
- Worth noticing
- The page distinguishes supermarket averages from wholesale buying and lets users enter a paid price as a starting point.
Field notes
The setup asks for each dish's ingredients and quantities; the page says it can draft amounts from a dish name, with those estimates marked for correction. Its example September 2026 table gives Stats NZ prices and month/year changes for butter, eggs, onions, tomatoes, and beef mince. Users can replace supermarket baselines with prices they pay wholesale; uncovered ingredients keep the manually entered price.
