Ability to update and track increasing costs over time, keeping track of vendors (this was a huge help when it came time for my staff to reorder and I was out of town), customer support is EXCELLENT. I recommend this software to anyone who expresses a need for a method to track costs and inventory. > > **Cons**: For my purposes, it was sometimes tough to figure out how to input the correct data to get the correct per unit pricing (I work with chocolate molds or varying yields). This made things a bit complicated at first, but is most likely an issue singular to my industry. > > I can't say enough good things about it. I upgraded almost instantly and never looked back. I have advised many people in my industry to use it and those who have signed up have all agreed that it was a smart move for any small business. ----- ### "Recipe Cost Calculator for Helpful Services" — 5.0/5 > **Collins** | *3 December 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Recipe Cost Calculator ensure all costs are handled swiftly. > > **Cons**: Recipe Cost Calculator makes every process attainable. > > Recipe Cost Calculator has maximum assistance in managing costs. ----- ### "Great product" — 4.0/5 > **Laura** | *6 November 2020* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Compared to other websites, I found this one easy to navigate. > > **Cons**: I just needed something that had a little more functionality to it > > Great customer service, great tool to use and organizing our recipes and getting pricing dialed. ----- ### "Outstanding value in recipe management software" — 5.0/5 > **Peter** | *13 October 2020* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Simple ingredient and recipe building - Fast and easy shopping list and production plan creation - Ability to create USDA nutrition fact panels - Outstanding customer service > > **Cons**: - Displaying large number of ingredients or recipes slows down interface > > Very happy for the price.

It is very easy to use and troubleshoot. \[sensitive content hidden\] is always evolving and improving the functionality plus he is personally there to help out if you need it. I highly recommend this calculator, it is a very valuable business tool. > > **Cons**: I did not have any negative experience using Recipe Cost Calculator.

Changing from there is easy and having all the detailed info about each ingredient saves you time down the track when menu planning. > > Recipe Cost Calculator is the perfect tool for anyone in the hospitality industry.
