What it is
Parsley is kitchen management software for culinary operations and cloud-based ERP software for food businesses. It brings recipe work, production planning, inventory, purchasing and labels into one system. Teams can edit, scale and cost recipes, with nutrition facts and allergens calculated automatically. Prep lists and production plans use scaled quantities for cooking and preparation. Inventory tools cover locations or GL, par lists, purchasing and order receiving. The label editor can draw on recipe and production details, including ingredients, nutrition, prices and expiration dates, and supports barcodes and QR codes.
Parsley offers an Open API, webhooks, standard integrations and a data uploader for connections to suppliers, POS, accounting and other systems. Its API can provide menu item details and accept sales information for cost, ingredient-usage variance and revenue accounting. Supported operations include restaurants, universities, prepared-meal services, grocers, caterers and corporate hospitality. It is available on Android, iOS and web. Plans start at $129 / month; higher tiers add nutrition, production, inventory and API features. Enterprise includes multi-location support.
