What is MyRecipes?

I speak to people all the time who tell me how much they appreciate these updates each month however something concerned me the other day when speaking to someone who had been receiving them for the last two years – they didn’t know what MenuCoster was! It’s easy to get so involved in keeping everyone informed about what’s in season and what price changes we’ve seen lately. But at the end of the day, if you haven’t got an easy way to manage this in your establishment there’s really no point knowing about it.

So what is MenuCoster?

MenuCoster is an online application which makes costing a menu simple.

What makes MenuCoster different from other applications?

Ingredients are maintained by us, meaning you always know the cost of your recipes! Each week we receive pricelists from nation-wide suppliers which our dedicated price updaters then enter into MenuCoster.Your pricing is based on the retail pricing from suppliers in your region.

All you need to do is enter your recipes. Costs and nutrition are automatically calculated giving you the latest information. You can print scaled easy to read recipe cards to be used by kitchen or front-of-house staff.

Is it really that simple?

I guarantee you won’t find an easier and faster way to cost a menu. MenuCoster is used by NZ’s leading hotels, restaurants, caterers and cafes. If you would like to speak to someone in your region using it, please let me know. There’s a fre’e trial available at www.myrecipes.co.nz and our support team would love to give you a demo.Here’s some comments received recently.
