Ingredient costs that flow into every recipe
Update supplier pack sizes and unit costs once, then see the impact across recipes, batches, menus, and wholesale lines.
Recipe costing software
Recipe costing software for serious food businesses
Track ingredient prices, yields, allergens, labour signals, and target margins in the same place your team already uses to prep and produce.
Proof in practice
Example: sourdough margin before the batch is mixed
A bakery updates flour, salt, labour, and sale price once, then checks whether the batch still hits margin before prep starts. The same record carries allergens, method, shelf life, and the customer-safe product detail.
- £0.84 example cost per unit
- 78.5% target margin check
- Supplier price updates reflected across recipes
- From £39 per location per month
Kitchen
Built around the work, not around admin.
Margins before prep starts
Compare cost per unit, sale price, yield, and target margin before a product reaches the counter or customer sheet.
Allergens, method, and shelf life together
Keep production instructions and safety information beside the numbers so the record stays useful in the kitchen.
Connected platform
One operating layer for food businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets.
Plato connects kitchen records, production work, hygiene standards, wholesale demand, finance visibility, and office follow-up so the same operational truth travels with the business.
Questions
Useful before a demo.
Can Plato replace recipe costing spreadsheets?
Yes. Plato is designed to hold ingredient costs, yields, recipes, margins, allergens, and production context in a structured workspace rather than a fragile sheet.
Is it only for restaurants?
No. Plato works well for bakeries, cafes, caterers, production kitchens, and food teams that need repeatable costing and operational records.
