About
Chef’s Helper is kitchen management software for chefs, restaurants, cafés, pubs, caterers, and other professional kitchens. Its web and Android apps bring recipes, ingredient and batch costing, menu margins, inventory, supplier order lists, prep assignments, and staff rotas into one workspace. Users can calculate portion costs and gross profit, account for trim loss and VAT, scale recipes, track stock and waste, and record food-safety checks, fridge and freezer temperatures, 90-minute cooling, probe calibration, and deep cleans with photo proof. Recipes are checked against 14 UK allergens, with a review history and printable allergen sheets. The system also tracks staff hygiene training and exports EHO audit packs. A limited free plan, a 14-day full-feature trial, and paid plans for solo chefs and teams are available.

CostGuard Food Costing:
About
CostGuard food costing software instantly costs and re-calculates recipes and menus. Your ideal recipe and menu cost is optimized because CostGuard suggests selling prices based on global and category targets. Menu engineering reports identify “winners and losers,” and truly help maximize your sales potential and profit. CostGuard calculates shrinkage (or loss) by major food group, smaller groups, and even by the actual item. ‘Alert’ reports show usage and shrinkage sorted by dollar amounts. Every saved dollar goes directly to your bottom line. CostGuard pulls together all the data that bombards you daily (including those pesky hidden numbers) and gives you clear, actionable reports.
