In their own words
BatchBoost
BatchBoost is food production management software for artisan food producers, kitchens, packers, and small manufacturers. It calculates recipe costs by batch and unit, and updates those figures when ingredient prices change. Production tools cover runs, batch numbers, yield tracking, and traceability in both directions. Paid plans add stock management and event planning, including recipe-based production and automatic stock deductions. Food-safety tools include 19 downloadable SALSA-aligned templates and allergen management for all 14 FSA-recognised allergens. It offers UK PPDS and Traffic Light nutrition labels, plus US FDA Nutrition Facts panels. BatchBoost runs on the web and through an API; a REST API and MCP server are available on Standard and above. Square POS integration is listed for Standard and Premium. A free plan is available, and listed paid plans are $30.00 per month for Grow, $50.00 per month for Standard, and $100.00 per month for Premium. The plans page advertises a 30 Day free trial of the Stock & Event Module.
