ChefLedger
A precise pricing tool for profitable menus—whether you're selling lemonade on the corner or running an Italian restaurant in the Hamptons.
"I spotted a problem and built a solution for it."
Small businesses and food vendors had no easy way to calculate all the costs involved in a single product in order to efficiently determine its price.
A single miscalculation in food cost percentages can bleed a restaurant’s profits by thousands of dollars a month, turning a successful service into a financial failure.
Financial solvency for independent restaurants often depends on accurate plate costing.
