Freecost gives restaurant kitchens a shared way to track ingredient prices, recipe costs, and menu margins through Android and web access. It calculates food-cost percentages for recipes and menu items, while the ingredient database records vendors, pack sizes, and allergens. Users can scan delivery invoices; extracted prices update ingredient costs and affected recipes. Inventory counts work offline and include dated dollar valuations, and waste logging provides weekly cost trends. The tools also include printable recipe and build cards, order guides, prep lists, and support for multiple kitchens on one account. CSV and Excel imports are included. The Android app supports full offline mode, including inventory counting. The free plan is listed at free and includes unlimited recipes, menu items, and ingredients, with no per-seat pricing or usage cap. Freecost does not include labor scheduling, purchase-order approval workflows, vendor management across several locations, or catering event and BEO management.
