Know what every dish really costs.
Then keep it that way, continuously.
billzova calculates real cost per serving from your actual ingredient quantities and current rates, recalculating automatically the moment a rate changes — and tracks food cost % / COGS continuously against a target across your whole menu, not a monthly report. Works online and offline. ₹399/month, first month free.
The struggle
Sound familiar?
We don't actually know what a dish costs
Menu prices were set by feel, not by adding up real ingredient quantities and current rates.
Ingredient prices change, menu prices don't
A rate increase upstream silently erodes margin on every sale until someone eventually notices — often months later.
Food cost reviewed monthly, after the fact
By the time a monthly report surfaces a problem, a month of margin erosion has already compounded.
No way to tell what caused a food cost increase
A combined figure can't distinguish rate increases, portioning drift, or sales-mix shifts.
