Cost Genie is your money saving utensil in the food service industry. Easy to learn and easy to use, Cost Genie recipe costing program instantly takes the guess work out of costing your inventory, recipes, menus and catering events. Cost Genie provides big time restaurant chain analysis and back-of-the-house control for the independent owner. With the Cost Genie modules (Inventory, Recipes, Menu Items, Catering) you can change the cost of a tomato from your latest purchase and food costs and profit margins are updated from your gourmet hamburger to your favorite tomato sauce. Problems with Inventory control? No more running out of food and running to the store ruining your food costs by paying grocery store prices. Plan on running a special? Know what it will cost you, before you put it on the menu. Now that you know your true food costs, your servers can suggest the menu items that have the highest profit margins. Finally, the recipe file for your prep and line items which can include a picture of your prepared plate, will ensure all of your menu items look and taste exactly the same, no matter which shift is working. Consistency, your customers will appreciate it.




  • Cost Genie will reduce your food and beverage costs.
  • Cost Genie will save your managers time.
  • Cost Genie will help your managers take control of the kitchen.

I also guarantee this, no matter what other program you have seen, or are using there is nothing out there that performs like Cost Genie 2.0. Some of our main features are as follows:

Inventory:

1. Lower your food cost and save time. We’ll extend your inventory instantly, identify shrinkage problems, track receiving, automate purchasing, audit pricing and keep as much history as you want. Our incredible variety of reports is completely customizable. Inventory control has never been so easy!

2. Taking a physical inventory creates control-both perceived as well as real. As a manager/owner counting what’s is in the house every week assists in ordering, stock rotation and getting actual food and liquor cost numbers. As an employee it creates the impression that you, the owner/manager are in control of thousands of dollars worth of product on your shelves.

3. Invoices – Purchase entry the most time consuming part of the inventory system, has been simplified…just point and click to select the items or click as ordered

4. With a click of a button the inventory changes from food to liquor

5. Those long hours spent taking and extending inventory become a thing of the past. Inventory time is cut drastically and the time spent extending is eliminated. Combine that with cost of goods, inventory level, item usage, price fluctuation, suggest re order and other system reports, it will be easy to see your profits rise.

6. Detect theft, over portioning and creeping vendor prices.

Recipes:

1. Our recipe program is a tremendous food-costing tool. You’ll have instant “pre-cost: information based on your current food prices. No more guesswork, no more surprise food cost fluctuations. Standardized recipes mean greater consistency, better food cost, and more satisfied customers. Re-work your current recipe and develop new concepts in a snap.

Menu Items:

1. Of all the business issues restaurant operators make, determining menu price decisions can be the trickiest, and most perplexing. Deciding on when to increase prices and to what extend can be dicey, an agonizing task for both new and experienced restaurateurs alike. Price too low and the difference between your actual price and what you should be charging comes right off your bottom line. Price too high and you may lose customers wanting a better deal.

2. We provide you the tools to make these decisions.
