About

PrepSheet is a browser-based food-costing and menu-pricing tool for UK kitchens, built by a working chef. Enter ingredient pack prices and recipe quantities to calculate batch cost, cost per portion, food-cost percentage and gross profit using the ex-VAT selling price. Scale recipes to a chosen number of covers and print prep sheets. The free calculator and recipe workspace run in a browser, with an optional account for syncing recipes across devices. PrepSheet Plus adds invoice scanning, price updates, dish-level gross-profit alerts and up to 500 synced recipes. A free, read-only MCP connector lets compatible AI assistants cost recipes, calculate UK gross profit, retrieve starter recipes and build prep lists. PrepSheet also offers downloadable kitchen templates, including food-cost, allergen and stock-take sheets.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - Did what we needed - Was pretty easy to use, but not very pretty as a tool - Compliance and advice was good
  • Nothing.

Cons

  • - Price is crazy high - Started on a free account, but then they pushed us off. Start the negotiation at $995, but eventually got them to discount all the way to ~$240. Sharing in case anyone else needs advice on how to negotiate with them
  • I emailed April in the support group (name should be changed to non support), I was met with a flippant and frankly terrible response. I will have to renew for 1 more year but in the interim I will be looking for a SAAS company that hopefully has the service to back up the product. All in all a serious shame and a good example of how not to provide support. Where possible avoid using A La Calc
