Turn Supplier Invoices into Recipe Margin Visibility

Kitchio helps food operators move away from scattered spreadsheets and manual calculations. By connecting supplier invoices, ingredient buying profiles, recipe costing, and stock signals into one clear operating workflow, Kitchio provides the clarity needed to make informed pricing decisions.

Core Features for Food Operators

• Invoice-Driven Updates: Upload supplier invoices (PDF or image) and use AI-powered parsing to review suggested price updates before they affect your live costs.
• Recipe-Aware Costing: Keep ingredients, pack counts, and per-portion costing connected in one unified operating model.
• Stock Awareness: Track a light inventory layer for critical ingredients, run quick count sessions, and spot low-stock pressure before service.
• Margin Tracking: See gross margin, food cost percentages, and pricing gaps clearly to identify which menu items are slipping into low profitability.
• Pricing Assistant & Menu Engineering: Use the pricing assistant to see if a menu price is healthy or below target margins, and use the menu engineering board to separate healthy products from those needing review.
• AI Recipe Drafts: Quickly draft new menu items from prep notes, menu photos, or product ideas without starting from scratch.

A Simple Weekly Operating Rhythm

Kitchio is designed to follow the actual workflow of a restaurant operator. Instead of jumping between different screens, you can follow a structured four-step process:

1. Set the Cost Base: Create your business profile, suppliers, and ingredients. Define how raw purchasing is costed, including currency and VAT defaults.
2. Review Incoming Changes: Use the invoice review system to confirm supplier price changes before they touch your live buying profiles.
3. Keep Stock Signals Honest: Track only the ingredients that matter operationally and run quick count sessions for tracked items.
4. Reprice with Context: Open recipes, review changed costs, and inspect stock risk before using pricing guidance to make informed decisions.

Built for Messy Real-World Operations

Kitchio is not just another spreadsheet; it is a platform built for the reality of food service. It offers clean onboarding, buying history, and AI helpers without the 'spreadsheet drift' that plagues manual tracking.
