Make room for your kitchen

A simpler costing routine

From your supplier invoice
to your next decision.

You don’t need to set up your entire kitchen on day one. Start with a single dish, understand its costs, and build from there.

  1. 01
    Build your starting point

    Start with one recipe

    Add a dish and review its ingredients, portions, units and yields. Use your actual ingredient costs to build a clear starting point.

  2. 02
    Follow the source

    Bring in your invoices

    Upload a supplier photo or PDF. Check the suggested ingredient matches, pack sizes and units before accepting new costs.

  3. 03
    Make the call

    See what needs attention

    As ingredient prices change, review the affected dishes. Decide whether to adjust a recipe, update a price or keep watching.

AI recipe drafts are a starting point. Review quantities and supplier costs before using them.

How recipe costing works

Connected to your kitchen

Small price changes.
A much clearer picture.

A supplier price rarely affects just one number. Marji connects each ingredient to the recipes that use it, so you can follow the change all the way to the plate.

  • Keep the source in sight

    Go back to the supplier invoice behind an ingredient cost.

  • Know what needs a second look

    See updated dish costs and margins. Missing costs remain a review task.

  • Every price decision stays yours

    Review a recommendation before making a change. No POS connection needed.

A few questions,
before you start.

Something else on your mind?
Talk to our team

How does Marji track supplier price changes?
Marji extracts ingredient prices from supplier invoices and suggests ingredient matches. After you check the matches, quantities and units, updated costs flow into the recipes that use those ingredients. You can review the affected dishes and their margins using your own supplier costs.
Do I need to enter every recipe before starting?
No. Start with one dish and add more recipes as you go. Check its ingredients, portion quantities, units, yields and actual ingredient costs. AI recipe drafts can give you a starting point, but they remain estimates until you review them. See how recipe costing works.
Do I need to connect my POS?
No. Start with your menu, recipes and supplier invoices. You approve price changes and update your register yourself. Square write-back is built but unavailable; other POS connections are planned. See the current integration status.
Can a menu photo tell me my food costs?
A photo gives Marji the dish names and selling prices. Actual plate costs need reviewed recipe quantities, units, yields and ingredient costs. AI-drafted recipes are estimates until you check them against your kitchen.
Can Marji read paper invoices?
Yes. Upload a photo or PDF from your supplier. Marji extracts lines and suggests ingredient matches. Review the quantities, units and matches before using the costs for a pricing decision.
What happens after the 14-day trial?
Subscribe to Single for $59 per location per month to keep using AI scanning and the margin engine. If you let the trial lapse, your QR menu stays live and editable, and your data remains viewable and exportable. No card is required to start.
Does a higher food cost mean I have to raise my menu price?
No. Review the ingredient match, portion quantities and recipe first. You decide whether to adjust the recipe, change the selling price or keep watching. Price recommendations are scenarios based on your costs and target gross margin; they do not predict demand or guarantee savings. Food cost margins exclude labor, rent and other expenses.
Who can access my recipes and supplier data?
Restaurant data is scoped to your authorized team. Read our privacy policy for how Marji handles your information, or contact support@marji.co with a specific question.
