From Supplier Invoice to Menu-Item Margin
COGSpoon brings ingredient costs, recipes, menu prices, and margins into one place—so restaurant operators can understand what every item really costs and what it actually earns.
Four steps from invoice to insight
No consultant, no integrations to wrangle, no rebuilding your menu in a spreadsheet.
Upload Your Supplier Invoices
Upload a supplier invoice PDF to COGSpoon. The platform captures vendor items, quantities, package sizes, and prices so operators do not have to manually update spreadsheets.
Invoice forwarding by email is coming soon.
Review and Organize Ingredients
Match vendor products to the ingredients your kitchen and bar actually use. Once an item is matched, COGSpoon can track its current price and help maintain consistent ingredient records.
Build Recipes and Menu Items
Connect ingredients and serving amounts to each food or drink item. Add the selling price to calculate the real cost of producing one serving.
See Costs, Margins, and Opportunities
View food-cost percentage, gross margin, and contribution dollars for each menu item. Quickly identify strong performers, costly items, and areas where pricing or portions may need attention.
Know the Numbers Behind Every Plate and Pour
How much does this menu item cost to make?
Which supplier prices have increased?
Is this item meeting my target food-cost percentage?
Which food and drink items generate the most profit?
Should I adjust the price, recipe, or portion size?
Are my margins changing as vendor costs change?
