How it works
The free path never touches a paid AI service. Results come from a bundled static nutrition snapshot (typical USDA-style values per 100 g for 150+ ingredients) held in SQLite, plus deterministic scoring engines. That's why answers are instant and the free tier stays free.
Who is this for?
Cottage-food sellers, caterers, meal preppers and small kitchens pricing dishes to sell.
What does food cost % mean?
Ingredients cost as a share of the selling price. 30% is a common restaurant target — the tool shows what price hits each target.
What format do rows need?
One line per ingredient, e.g. '500 g chicken breast $6.00'. The $ price can sit at the end of the line.
