Manual Data Entry

Most food companies use custom-built spreadsheets to cost food, track profit margins, and make recipe or menu adjustments. This is extremely manual and time-consuming.

Stale Insights

Because the traditional food costing way is so manual and slow, most companies don’t actually go through the full costing process nearly as often as they should, resulting in inaccurate results that can be costly.
