FoodNotify
Vienna, Austria
What it is
FoodNotify provides food costing software for restaurants, using supplier product data to build recipes and calculate dish cost of goods sold (COGS). Recipe calculations use ingredient prices, quantities and allergens. Users can set COGS thresholds and receive notifications when costs move above or below those levels. Recipe views show current and previous COGS values, along with a chart comparing target and actual costs. FoodNotify says it connects to any POS system and names Lightspeed, SIDES, Shiji and Amadeus among its existing integrations; POS setup is included in account setup costs. Other named integrations cover performance management, invoice management, and recipe and ingredient carbon-footprint calculations. The mobile app supports ordering and inventory workflows on iPhone, iPad and Android, but requires an active FoodNotify account. Starter costs €174.90/mo for one location and includes procurement, recipes, self-setup, one automated supplier connection and unlimited manual supplier shops. Pro and Enterprise use custom pricing for larger operations. FoodNotify says data is protected by 256-bit encryption and offers support through chat or a ticket system.
