CostMyDish is a free food costing calculator built for chefs, home bakers, caterers, and food truck owners.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Vishal, solo founder of CostMyDish. I built this after seeing how many food businesses either wing their pricing or pay $100+/month for enterprise tools like MarginEdge that are overkill for a home bakery or single food truck.
CostMyDish lets you build an ingredient library once, then cost any recipe live — with automatic unit conversion, waste %, and margin targets. The part I'm most proud of: one recipe, multiple selling formats. Sell your pizza by the slice AND whole, and see the food cost % and profit for each, instantly.
Free tier is actually usable (5 recipes, 20 ingredients) — not a crippled trial. Would love your feedback, especially if you run a food business and want to tell me what's missing.
honestly the live costing as you add ingredients is pretty slick, way faster than pulling out a spreadsheet. the multi-format pricing per slice or combo from one recipe is a nice touch too
The per portion and combo pricing right from one recipe saved me a ton of spreadsheet time. Really like that the food cost percentage updates instantly as I tweak ingredients.
The recipe costing updates instantly as I add ingredients, which is genuinely useful when tweaking a menu. The per slice and per combo breakdown saved me from doing the math in a spreadsheet for once.
