What it is

Ratatool is web software for food-service businesses managing recipes, costs, margins, production, supplies, inventory and food traceability. Users build recipes from supplier ingredients and sub-recipes, calculate ingredient costs, food cost and margins, and track supplier price history. The system can notify users when an ingredient reaches a critical threshold. Production planning turns required quantities into supplier orders, while inventory tracking, yield and portion scaling, menu profitability and ingredient price updates support daily operations. Traceability records can include allergens, nutrition labels, expiration dates and batch numbers. Ratatool says AI can scan invoices to help load initial data. Multi-site features support locations and employee permissions. Recipe documents can be printed and data exported to PDF, CSV and Excel; CSV imports and Stripe payment processing are described. The ESSAI plan is free for four recipes and 15 ingredients, with no subscription or credit card. STANDARD is billed 24 € per month annually; PREMIUM is billed 41 € per month annually.
