AI Food Cost Calculator
Know exactly what every dish costs and what it earns. Tableside tracks ingredient costs automatically so you keep more of every plate you serve.
Every Dollar, Accounted For
Everything you need to cost recipes, watch margins, and stop waste before it spreads.
Automatic Ingredient Cost Tracking
Every sale deducts the right ingredients at current prices. Your food cost percentage stays live, not last month's guess.
Menu Profitability & Engineering
See which dishes earn their place and which ones quietly lose money. Stars, puzzles, plowhorses, and dogs at a glance.
Recipe Costing with Live Price Updates
Build recipes once. When a supplier price moves, every affected dish reprices itself automatically.
Waste & Variance Alerts
Get flagged when usage drifts from theory — over-portioning, spoilage, or shrinkage — before it eats the week.
Supplier Price Comparisons
Compare like-for-like ingredient prices across vendors so you always know who gives you the best deal.
Margin Recommendations per Dish
Get practical suggestions — price tweaks, portion fixes, swaps — to lift margin without hurting the guest experience.
Protect Margin on Every Dish
Spreadsheets go stale the day a supplier reprices. Tableside keeps every recipe, price, and margin live so small leaks never become big losses.
