Marji
Marji is restaurant food cost software for independent restaurants, cafés and bakeries running one to five locations. Supplier invoice scanning connects ingredient price changes to updated recipe costs, helping operators see which dishes need a cost review. Start with one dish: check ingredient matches, quantities, units, yields and actual costs, then use new invoices to keep its cost current. A menu photo supplies dish names and selling prices; AI recipe drafts are estimates until reviewed. Operators review dish margins and price recommendations, decide what to adjust and update their register manually. No POS connection is required. The hosted QR menu stays free, while ongoing AI scanning and the margin engine require trial or paid access.

PrepSheet
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.

Mise
Mise tells independent restaurant owners what every dish on their menu actually costs — and what to do when a cost moves.
Snap a photo of a supplier receipt. Mise reads every line, matches each item to your ingredient list, and updates the cost of every dish that uses it. About five seconds per receipt.
Each month you get a one-page report: which dishes made money, which didn't, and where costs moved enough to act on. Every finding comes with an action menu — tighten a portion, switch or renegotiate a supplier, reformulate the recipe, or reprice as a last resort.
Setup is fully managed. A Mise team member walks through your entire menu and builds the recipes, sub-recipes, ingredients, and supplier links for you. You don't build anything.
Built for single-location, owner-operated restaurants with 20–60 menu items. Enterprise food-cost platforms start around $300/month and assume you have a tech-comfortable manager. Mise doesn't.
