For home cooks
- See your cost per serving. Add what you paid for each ingredient and Saucebook works out the meal cost and the cost per serving. It's an easy way to stick to a grocery budget.
- Scale any recipe. Cooking for 2 tonight and 12 on Sunday? Recipe scaling adjusts every amount and the cost along with it.
- One recipe box for the whole household. Your recipes sync both ways across your phone and computer. On Family, up to 4 more people can share them.
Business
For restaurants, caterers, bakers and food trucks
- Plate cost and food cost percentage, worked out for you. Recipe costing that updates when you change an ingredient price, so menu pricing starts from real numbers.
- Share recipes with your team, on your terms. Give staff seats and choose who can see each recipe: All staff, Adults only or Managers only.
- Built for real kitchens. Up to 5 dish photos per recipe for plating, two-way sync across devices, and an ownership transfer if you ever sell the business, so your recipes go with it.
Learn the math: how to cost a recipe, food cost percentage, how to price a menu. Cost per serving: Tacos · Lasagna · Spaghetti and meatballs · Chili · Pancakes.
