Cilurzo Foodcost is recipe costing and menu engineering software for restaurants. It calculates each dish’s cost price, food cost percentage and gross margin using ingredients and sub-recipes. When a supplier price changes, the software recalculates every dish and sub-recipe that uses that ingredient. A menu price simulator shows how a selling price affects margin and indicates the price needed to reach a target food cost percentage. It also flags dishes that fall below a target margin after purchase prices change. Foodcost links to a venue’s menu in Cilurzo Orders, where assistant orders use the regular menu and cost prices. The maker says venues can be reached through ChatGPT, Claude and other assistants using MCP, a capability included in every plan, including Lite. Assistant requests use the same checks as the booking page, and unconfirmed requests expire after two hours. The product page describes Cilurzo as GDPR compliant and hosted in the EU. Guest-facing languages listed are Dutch, French and English; its WhatsApp assistant is described as supporting Dutch, French, English, German and Spanish. Foodcost is available on the web, has a free plan and offers a 14-day trial without requiring a credit card. Paid plans start at €79/mo, with prices per venue and excluding VAT.
