It costs each menu item from its ingredients, shows gross profit per dish, and keeps the kitchen's books in the same file.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease read:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a tracker tool only, not financial, tax, legal, medical or any other professional advice or advisory service.

A dish at 65% selling 44 a week and a dish at 77% selling 148 a week are different problems, and a single monthly food cost percentage cannot tell them apart. The Menu and Components tabs work as a food cost calculator: they build each dish's portion cost from its ingredients, so menu pricing starts from real figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA ledger written for hospitality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe books open on lines a kitchen actually uses, not a generic shop chart of accounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncome lines:\u003c\/strong\u003e Food sales, Drink sales, Delivery platforms and Private hire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpense lines:\u003c\/strong\u003e Food purchases, Drink purchases, Staff wages and Platform commission, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery platform sales and the commission they take sit on their own lines, so you can see what that channel really leaves you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwelve connected tabs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart Here, Setup, Menu, Components, Income, Expenses, Inventory, Monthly, Quarterly, Profit and Loss, Balances and Dashboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e500 income rows and 500 expense rows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Inventory tab that works as an inventory tracker beside the ledger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonthly and quarterly totals, which is how tax gets filed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA profit and loss built from the same two lists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccount balances, so the file knows what the business holds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA dashboard that reads all of it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA worked year and a blank copy\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe filled copy runs a busy year: 366 income entries and 498 expense entries at a 16.5% margin.
