Why these exist

FROM THE CHEF

I cost menus for a living. Every template in the pack is a sheet I actually use: built on shift, fixed on shift. The same chef runs @offthepass on YouTube, where the cost-breakdown videos come off these exact spreadsheets.

Nothing phones home. The free browser tools keep your numbers on your device: no signup, no account, no tracking of your costs.

if an £11.99 template saves one badly-priced dish,
it’s paid for itself. - chef

The number to aim for

28-35% food cost

UK kitchens generally aim for a 28-35% food cost, a 65-72% gross profit. If you don’t know a dish’s number, you can’t know which side of that line it’s on. That’s the whole point of the sheet.
