"Before MenuCost I had a spreadsheet I updated maybe once a year. Now I know exactly what every item costs, and my margins have gotten better because of it."
"Setting up took less than a day. The overhead allocation alone changed how I think about pricing. I'd never counted rent into a single recipe before."
"We were about to open a second branch and couldn't explain our own numbers. MenuCost gave us that clarity in one afternoon."
