FoodNotify

What FoodNotify is

FoodNotify is food-costing software for restaurants and other hospitality operations. It builds recipes from supplier product information, using ingredient prices, quantities, and allergens to calculate each dish’s cost of goods sold (COGS). You can set COGS thresholds and receive alerts when costs move above or below them. Recipe views show current and previous COGS values, with a chart comparing target and actual costs. FoodNotify says it connects to any POS system and lists Lightspeed, SIDES, Shiji, and Amadeus integrations; POS setup is included in account setup costs. Additional connections include sell & pick for performance management, billbox for invoices, and Eaternity for carbon-footprint calculations. Inventory, yield and portion scaling, menu profitability, ingredient price updates, and multi-location support are included capabilities. The mobile app supports ordering and inventory workflows on iPhone, iPad, and Android, with an active FoodNotify account required. Starter costs €174.90 a month for one location. Pro and Enterprise use custom pricing for larger organizations. FoodNotify says data uses 256-bit encryption and support is available by chat or ticket.
