What it is

RistoBrain is a web-based tool for restaurant dish costing and menu, allergen, stock, and price management. Its food-cost calculations use supplier ingredient prices and recipe quantities while accounting for waste and yield. Menu engineering sorts dishes into Star, Plowhorse, Puzzle, and Dog quadrants. The system tracks 14 allergens per dish and generates compliance documentation. Users can upload electronic XML invoices, PDFs, or photos for automatic extraction of ingredients and prices. Inventory tools track stock and produce reorder lists by supplier. An AI advisor analyzes restaurant data and offers guidance on menu choices, cost reductions, and dish pricing. The Free plan is billed at €0/month and includes one location, up to 30 recipes and 50 ingredients, invoice upload, and a basic AI advisor. Base costs €19 a month; Pro is €49 a month; Business is €99 a month. The paid plans add capabilities such as unlimited locations, advanced menu tools, or multi-restaurant teams. The site says passwords are encrypted, connections are secure, and users can export or delete their data. Accounts are personal and cannot be shared.
