Testimonials

Trusted by hospitality teams

β€œI 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.”
DDerek BakerChef, Sticky Addiction
β€œChefy has completely transformed how we manage our kitchen operations. Recipe costing that used to take hours now takes minutes.”
MMyles DockerSydney Pub Group
β€œWe finally know our real food cost. In the first month we found nearly 4% of margin we'd been leaving on the table.”
PPriya NairHead Chef, Lantern & Co.
β€œSetup took an afternoon. Uploading our supplier invoices and watching the catalogue build itself was the moment it clicked.”
TTom WhitfieldOwner, The Brass Tap
β€œCosting a new menu used to be a weekend job. Now it's done before service.”
GGabriela SantosExecutive Chef, Aria Dining
β€œLive margins on every dish meant we caught three loss-making specials in our first week.”
DDaniel ChoOperations Manager, Northside Group
β€œRolling the same recipes and standards across all five venues finally feels effortless.”
HHannah ReidGroup Chef, Coastline Hospitality
β€œThe Square integration just works - sales and costs line up without me touching a spreadsheet.”

AAisha RahmanSous Chef, Maple & Vine
