TEST KITCHEN
Run your numbers before you price, and make smarter decisions that keep your food business sustainable.
See exactly how your costs change when you scale
Whether you're doubling a batch for a farmers market or scaling up for a wholesale order, Recipe Scaling shows you what happens to your cost per portion at any batch size. Adjust your labor hours for the larger run and get an accurate picture of what it actually costs before you commit.
- Scale up or down at 0.5x, 1x, 2x, up to 5x — or enter a custom multiplier
- Adjust labor hours independently since larger batches don't always take proportionally longer
- Save scenarios to compare different batch sizes side by side
Know your margin before you offer a discount
Discounting without knowing your numbers is a gamble. Discount Modeling shows you exactly what happens to your gross profit and gross margin when you offer 10%, 25%, 50%, or a custom discount. Set a margin threshold and Roux will warn you if a discount puts you below it.
- Model any discount percentage including a custom amount
- Set a minimum margin threshold so you know when a discount stops making sense
- Save scenarios to refer back to when planning promotions or wholesale pricing
Discover your profit potential before you show up
Farmers markets, pop-ups, vendor events — they all come with costs beyond your recipes. Event Planning lets you add your recipes, set quantities, and factor in booth fees, travel, supplies, and any other event costs. Run the calculation and see your projected revenue, total costs, and net profit before you commit to showing up.
- Add multiple recipes with quantities and sell prices to build a complete event picture
- Factor in booth fees, travel, signage, and any other costs associated with the event
- See projected revenue, total costs, and net profit so you know if the event is worth it
