What happens when chicken costs more?
Follow a sample price change through the Chicken Caesar Salad recipe.
Import the new invoice
A supplier raises the price of chicken breast. The new invoice adds $0.60 to the cost of chicken in each salad.
See the updated recipe cost
DigiChef updates the recipes that use that chicken. The salad goes from $6.30 to $6.90 per portion, about 31.4% of its $22 menu price.
Review the menu price
If your target is 30%, you can review the portion or supplier, or price the salad at $23 to hit the target in this example.

A few things you might be wondering
Is DigiChef a fit for my restaurant?
DigiChef is built for independent operators, chefs, and small restaurant groups who want clearer recipe costs and purchasing records. Whether you run one kitchen or several locations, you can start with invoices and the recipes that matter most to you.
Do all my suppliers need to be connected?
No. Automatic invoice feeds work with supported suppliers after setup. You can also upload PDF invoices or enter purchases manually. Contact us to check your suppliers and invoice formats before choosing a workflow.
When do my recipe costs update?
When new invoice prices arrive in DigiChef, the affected recipe costs update. Changes you make to ingredients or portions also affect the cost, helping you keep menu decisions grounded in what your kitchen uses.
Does recipe food cost tell me my actual profit?
It tells you the ingredient cost of a dish based on your recipe and prices. That’s useful for reviewing portions and menu prices, but profit also depends on waste, labour, rent, and other expenses.
What can I try during the free trial?
The 30-day free trial uses the Basic plan. Bring in invoices and build a few prep and plating recipes to see the workflow with your own information. If you need more capacity or have several locations, request a demo to discuss the right plan.
