Pros

I look forward to using the other tools to see how they can be helpful as well. Most of all, I have had fantastic customer service from this company.

Sarah C.

Owner

I love that it is easy to use. I also really appreciate that it's always improving.

Emiliana P.

Program Manager

Recipe Cost Calculator is a great tool for my small business. It took us a little bit of time to figure out how to use the software but once we got used to it we fell in love.

Sarah C.

Owner

Cons

I sometimes find that it can be confusing to enter a recipe's yield. Perhaps there can be more explanation given or examples.

Emiliana P.

Program Manager

The only downside so far is that there is no easy way to add an ingredient on the fly.

Patty L.

Owner

My only complaint is that I can’t integrate it with another system I currently use for recipe management.
