Restaurant food cost software
Track every food cost.
Protect every margin.
Marji scans your supplier invoices, recalculates every dish's margin the moment a cost changes, and tells you exactly which menu prices to raise or which suppliers to switch.
No credit card required · Full setup in under 30 minutes
The problem
Restaurants lose 3 to 5 points of margin a year — usually without noticing.
Wholesale food costs change every week. Beef goes up forty cents, eggs up nine, butter up a dollar a pound. None of those changes triggers a menu update on its own. By the time the quarterly P&L lands, the burger that used to make $9 is making $7.10, and the brunch plate is barely breaking even.
The average independent restaurant gives back three to five points of margin a year this way — not because owners are careless, but because nobody has time to recost forty recipes every Tuesday. Marji does that work in the background, so you find out the same week the price moved, not the same quarter.
How it works
How Marji's food cost software works.
- 01
Connect your suppliers and upload your menu
Photograph your menu, then snap or forward supplier invoices — Sysco, US Foods, Restaurant Depot, your local distributor, anyone. Marji reads every line item — no manual data entry.
- 02
We track every food cost change automatically
The moment butter goes up nine cents, every dish that uses butter is recosted. Recipe costing and dish-level margins update across your whole menu in real time.
- 03
Get clear menu pricing recommendations
Plain-language fixes: “Raise the burger to $16.20.” “Switch beef to Vendor B and save 12%.” Push approved menu prices to Square in one click — Toast support lands Q3.
Dashboard
One dashboard. Every dish on your menu. Always current.
See real recipe costs, food cost percentages, and dish-level margins for your entire menu. The numbers update the moment a new supplier invoice comes in.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
- Does Marji work with my POS system?
- Yes. Marji pushes approved menu price changes to Square today, with Toast support arriving in Q3 2026. If you use a different POS, every recommendation still works — you just apply the price changes manually.
- How long does setup take?
- Most restaurants are live in under 30 minutes. You upload your menu, send a few recent supplier invoices, and Marji calculates the cost and margin of every dish.
- Can Marji read paper invoices?
- Yes. Photograph paper invoices with your phone — Marji reads photos and PDFs from any supplier the same way.
- Will food cost tracking actually save my restaurant money?
- Do the math on one dish: a plate leaking $2 against your target margin at 100 covers a week is $200 a week — more than three months of Marji. If it doesn't find anything worth fixing, cancel — no contract, and the trial needs no card.
- Who can see my recipes and supplier data?
- Only you. Marji never shares your recipes, costs, or supplier list with other restaurants or with your vendors.
- Which suppliers does Marji integrate with?
- Any supplier. Marji reads invoices from Sysco, US Foods, PFG, Restaurant Depot, Cheetah, and local distributors alike — photograph them or upload the PDF. Direct EDI feeds are on the roadmap.
