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.
