Recommendations
Upload a supplier invoice and Chefy's AI reads it line by line, pulling out every product, pack size and price for you. Bulk-import a whole supplier catalogue in minutes, and standard products keep naming and units consistent across venues.
Create recipes from your products and nest sub-recipes as many levels deep as your kitchen or bar actually works - a sauce inside a dish or drink inside a set menu. Unit conversions are automatic, wastage is built into the cost, and every recipe re-costs the moment an ingredient price changes.
Create menu items from your recipes - or auto-populate them straight from Square, matched 1:1 to what you sell on the floor. Every item shows its live cost, sale price, cost % and contribution margin, so you see what makes money before the menu is printed.
With Square connected, your live sales flow into Chefy automatically and link to each item's true cost. No exports, no reconciling - what you sold and what it cost stay in sync, all the time.
Now everything connects: live margins on every item, alerts when something breaches your targets, sales-velocity and contribution-margin analytics, and automated daily reports. You see exactly where profit is won or lost - and what to do next.
Build recipes the way your kitchen or bar works and watch every cost update the moment a supplier price changes β cascaded through sub-recipes into live menu margins, with AI reading prices straight off your invoices.

βI tried other costing programs but as a chef I found them confusing and they couldn't handle nested recipes properly, which meant the numbers were never accurate enough to trust. Chefy was easy from the get go. I could nest recipes the way I actually build them in the kitchen, and the costings finally reflected reality.β
βChefy has completely transformed how we manage our kitchen operations. Recipe costing that used to take hours now takes minutes.β
βWe finally know our real food cost. In the first month we found nearly 4% of margin we'd been leaving on the table.β
βSetup took an afternoon. Uploading our supplier invoices and watching the catalogue build itself was the moment it clicked.β
βCosting a new menu used to be a weekend job. Now it's done before service.β
βLive margins on every dish meant we caught three loss-making specials in our first week.β
βRolling the same recipes and standards across all five venues finally feels effortless.β
βThe Square integration just works - sales and costs line up without me touching a spreadsheet.β
βStocktake nights are half as long and twice as accurate.β
βOur suppliers change prices constantly. Chefy keeps every recipe honest automatically.β
βI can finally see which menu items actually make money - it changed how we write the menu.β
βWastage tracking alone paid for the subscription in its first month.β
