GastroCore
What it is
GastroCore provides UK restaurants with stock control, ingredient tracking and food-cost management. It records ingredient stock in real time, including minimum levels and expiry dates, and sends email alerts for low stock. Recipe tools calculate costs and margins, create PDF recipe cards with allergen details and report all 14 mandatory UK allergens per recipe. Teams can log food waste with reasons and costs, create purchase orders and update inventory when deliveries arrive. Batch traceability follows products from supplier to plate, while reports cover consumption, margins, low stock and cost breakdowns. The service is aimed at independent restaurants, cafés, pubs and takeaways, and works on Android, iOS and web. Plans include unlimited ingredients and users, plus recipes, allergen PDFs, waste tracking, purchasing, traceability, reports and alerts. Pricing is £59 monthly or £531 annually, with a 14-day trial.
