In their own words
reciProfity
reciProfity is cloud-hosted software for food costing, inventory control, and recipe management. It calculates recipe costs from ingredient prices and yield data, then suggests selling prices based on food-cost targets. Inventory reports cover on-hand stock, actual-versus-ideal variance, sales mix, and menu engineering information; offline mode protects data if Wi-Fi is lost during counts. Its recipe database handles nested prep and serving recipes, supplier ingredients, and more than 200 units of measurement with conversions. Integrated USDA nutritional data supports recipe nutrition calculations, and recipes can be tagged with allergens from ingredients. The system imports sales-mix files from POS systems that export XLS files, and lists integrations including Caterease, QuickBooks Online, Passport Accounting, Sage 100, PlateIQ, iControl, Accardis, and Upserve. Plans listed are Starter at $49 a month, limited to 10 recipes; Core at $82 a month; Operations at $99 a month; and Multi-Unit at $124 a month. A 30-day trial with the full Analyzer plan and support is offered.
