Plate Cost Calculator

Plate Cost Calculator helps US restaurant owners stop guessing menu prices by turning ingredient cost and menu price into clear food cost percentage, profit margin, and a suggested price. It solves the problem of pricing dishes without a dedicated food-cost tool, which often leads to thin margins or overpriced items.

Frequently asked questions

Is my recipe and pricing data kept private?

Yes, everything you enter is stored only in a single local data file on the server, not shared with anyone.

Does this order ingredients or connect to my POS?

No, it's a standalone calculator - you enter costs manually and it does the math, nothing more.

What food cost percentage should I aim for?

Most independent restaurants target 28-35%, but you can set your own target and the calculator will suggest a price to match it.
