RECIPE COSTING
No more guessing your costs. Get accurate numbers for every recipe you make.
Your ingredients, converted automatically
Every recipe is written differently. Some call for cups, some for tablespoons, some for grams. Roux converts every measurement to ounces by weight so your costs calculate accurately no matter how your recipe is written. Just enter your ingredients and amounts — Roux handles the rest.
- Works with any unit: cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, grams, ounces, pounds, and more
- Estimated weights flagged so you know when to weigh for better accuracy
- Reorder ingredients by dragging so your recipe stays organized the way you think
See exactly where your money goes
Before you get to pricing, Roux shows you a complete breakdown of your ingredient costs, per batch and per portion. This is the foundation your final cost of goods is built on. Review it, catch anything that looks off, and move forward with confidence.
- Total ingredient cost and cost per portion calculated automatically
- Full line-by-line breakdown so nothing is hidden
- Built-in checkpoint before moving to labor and packaging
Add labor & packaging for a complete cost of goods
Ingredients alone don't tell the full story. Roux factors in how long it takes to make your recipe and what you pay yourself or your staff, plus any packaging: bags, boxes, containers, labels. Combined with your ingredient costs, this gives you your true, complete cost of goods.
- Enter hours and hourly rate. Roux calculates cost per portion automatically
- Add disposable packaging items with an upcharge multiplier to account for waste
- See your total labor and packaging cost alongside ingredients
Know what to charge and why
Once your costs are in, Roux calculates your recommended sell price based on your food cost percentage. See your gross profit and gross margin in real time so you're not just guessing at a number, you're pricing with a reason behind it.
- Set your food cost percentage and get a recommended sell price instantly
- See gross profit per portion and gross margin so you understand what you're actually making
