Food Costing Software: Recipe Costing Trusted by Michelin-star Restaurants

The recipe costing, food cost management, and menu reporting tools trusted by Michelin-star restaurants — now part of a complete food and beverage platform.

91̽»¨'s food costing software is built on the foundation of BinWise, one of the most trusted bar and beverage inventory platforms in the restaurant industry. Used by Michelin-star restaurants across the United States, BinWise set the standard for beverage inventory and recipe costing. When BinWise became part of the 91̽»¨ platform, its best-in-class costing and inventory tools were expanded to cover food as well as beverage, and connected to live supplier ordering and invoicing for the first time.

With 91̽»¨, restaurant operators and F&B teams can cost recipes against live supplier pricing, track food cost by dish and category, manage menus and ingredient databases, run beverage and bar inventory, and order directly from suppliers when costs move out of range. Over 48,000 transacting restaurants and foodservice businesses already use 91̽»¨ across their operations.

Recipe Costing Software Connected to Live Supplier Pricing

Most recipe costing software calculates ingredient costs from a static price list that has to be updated manually every time a supplier changes their prices. 91̽»¨ works differently. Because the food costing software connects directly to your supplier catalog, every recipe in your database is costed against the prices your suppliers are actually charging today. When a distributor increases the cost of a product, every recipe that uses that ingredient reflects the updated cost automatically.

91̽»¨'s recipe management software gives kitchen managers and F&B directors a searchable database of all recipes with full ingredient breakdowns, portion sizes, prep times, and real-time cost per portion. Add a new recipe, select the ingredients from your supplier catalog, enter the quantities, and 91̽»¨ calculates the cost immediately with no manual price lookup required. As a recipe costing tool built for working kitchens rather than accounting teams, 91̽»¨ is designed for speed and accuracy across a full menu rather than individual dishes.

Food Cost Management and Restaurant Cost Analysis

91̽»¨'s food cost software gives restaurant operators a live view of food cost across the entire operation. Track actual food cost versus theoretical cost by dish, by category, and by time period. See immediately when a variance appears between what a dish should cost and what it is actually costing based on purchasing data, and investigate whether the variance is driven by a supplier price increase, over-portioning, or waste.

The built-in food cost calculator software runs cost analysis automatically as purchasing data flows through the platform. There is no separate data entry step and no need to export figures to a spreadsheet for analysis. For restaurant cost analysis at the operational level, 91̽»¨ provides the reporting layer that connects what your kitchen is using to what your purchasing team is buying and what your suppliers are charging, giving you an accurate cost picture at all times rather than a snapshot from last month's invoice reconciliation.

Menu Management, Costing, and Pricing

91̽»¨'s menu management software lets you build your full menu from your recipe database, see the cost and margin of every dish at a glance, and identify which items are protecting your margins and which are eroding them. When ingredient prices change, the impact on every affected menu item updates automatically so your team never has to recalculate dish margins manually after a supplier price change.

For F&B directors and kitchen managers working on menu engineering, 91̽»¨'s menu costing software provides the data layer that makes pricing decisions defensible rather than intuitive. Set a target food cost percentage for each menu section, model the impact of price changes before implementing them, and track how your actual food cost percentage moves over time as your menu and supplier costs evolve. The menu pricing software functionality connects directly to recipe costing so there is a single source of truth for every dish cost across your kitchen, your menu, and your reporting.

Beverage Inventory and Bar Management — Powered by BinWise

BinWise has been one of the most trusted names in bar and beverage inventory for over a decade. Used by some of the best Michelin-star restaurants and hotel F&B operations in the United States, BinWise built its reputation on accuracy, ease of use, and the depth of its beverage costing tools. When BinWise joined 91̽»¨, those tools came with it — and were expanded with food inventory and live supplier ordering that BinWise alone could not offer.

91̽»¨'s beverage management tools include full bar inventory tracking, cocktail and drink recipe costing, pour cost analysis, and a recipe database for every beverage item in your operation. BinWise users who upgrade to 91̽»¨ keep the same login credentials, the same inventory history, and the same bar management workflows they already know, and gain access to food costing, restaurant inventory, supplier ordering, and invoicing that connects the bar operation to the rest of the business. For operators who already know and trust BinWise, 91̽»¨ is the natural next step.

Food Costing Connected to Supplier Ordering and Invoicing

Food costing software that only calculates costs is half the solution. 91̽»¨ connects your cost data to the action it should trigger. When your food cost on a dish increases because a supplier has raised ingredient prices, 91̽»¨ shows you which supplier, which product, and by how much. You can then place a purchase order with an alternative supplier or renegotiate with your existing one directly within the same platform, without switching tools or making phone calls.

Every purchase order placed through 91̽»¨ flows into your inventory and your recipe costs automatically. When ingredients are received, delivery quantities update stock levels. When supplier invoices arrive, 91̽»¨ matches them to purchase orders and flags discrepancies before payment is approved. The result is a complete loop from recipe costing to supplier ordering to delivery to invoicing, all within one platform. For restaurant and F&B operators who have previously managed food cost in one tool and procurement in another, 91̽»¨ replaces both with a single connected system.
