POS inventory & recipe costing for multi-location kitchens

Know your food cost.
Before it costs you.

Kitchen Cost Pro connects your POS tills to live stock, recipe costing, and purchasing across every location, so margin isn't something you find out about a month later.

The problem

Spreadsheets don't scale past one kitchen.

Every extra location multiplies the same manual work: stock counts, supplier invoices, recipe math, and reconciling what actually sold against what actually left the storeroom. Scroll to work through them.

📉

Margins found too late

By the time a monthly spreadsheet shows food cost drift, the stock is already gone and the damage is done.

🧾

Sales and stock disagree

POS reports one number, the storeroom tells another story, and nobody has time to reconcile them line by line.

🏢

No single view across sites

Each location runs its own version of the truth in its own file, so head office is always working from a stale rollup.

The platform

Everything between the delivery truck and the till.

Purchasing, recipe costing, production, and POS reconciliation, running on one shared record per workspace.

01 · Stock & Purchasing

Stock that reflects what's actually on the shelf.

Purchase orders, goods-received vouchers, and credit notes feed one live stock ledger per location, with low-stock alerts before you run out mid-service.

  • Supplier catalogues and preferred ordering UOMs
  • Low-stock alerts tuned per item, per site
  • Credit notes and GRVs reconcile straight to stock

02 · Recipe Costing

Every dish, costed down to the gram.

Build recipes from real ingredient costs and custom units of measure, and watch margin recalculate automatically the moment a supplier price changes.

  • Ingredient-level cost breakdown per menu item
  • Custom UOM conversions handled for you
  • Margin updates the moment input costs move

03 · POS Sync

Sales, refunds, and stock stay in step, automatically.

Every POS sale and refund flows straight into reporting and stock depletion through webhooks, reconciled against the same canonical record used across the platform. Yoco and Square are supported todaySquare is supported today, with more POS integrations added on request.

  • Real-time webhook ingestion of sales & refunds
  • Automatic stock depletion tied to each sale
  • Payment summaries: gross, VAT, tips, fees, net payout

04 · Multi-Location Reporting

One rollup, every site, no waiting for month-end.

Dashboards and scheduled reports pull from every location's live data, with exports to CSV, XLSX, and PDF for the people who still want a file.

  • Cross-location dashboards, updated live
  • Scheduled reports delivered on your cadence
  • CSV, XLSX, and PDF export on every view

05 · Stock Takes

Counts your team will actually finish.

Run a full session count, a quick count, or a bulk barcode scan, save a draft mid-shift, and resume later without losing a single line.

  • Session, quick-count, and bulk-scan modes
  • Resumable drafts saved automatically
  • Variance flagged the moment a count closes

⚠️

What a poor 20% GP actually costs you

On R 300 000 in monthly sales, a restaurant running at just 20% GP walks away with R 60 000 gross profit for the month, R 135 000 less than the same sales at a healthy 65% GP. That gap is exactly what Kitchen Cost Pro is built to catch before month-end, not after.
