Sample data. Your prices will differ.

Costings without the spreadsheet

Built for chefs and owners who cost dishes between services, not at a desk all day.

⚖️

Cost by the gram

Weigh what goes in the batch. PantrySum works out the per-kilo price from the pack you buy, including trim and peel.

🛒

Cheapest supplier, per ingredient

Add prices from each supplier and PantrySum uses the cheapest for every line. You can see what it would cost from one place too.

📈

Prices move, you know

Update a price once and every recipe that uses it re-costs. Dishes whose cost changed are flagged on the pass.

🎯

Hit your food cost

Set a target food cost, such as 30%. See which dishes are over it, and the menu price that would bring each one back.

📋

Paste your price list

Copy rows from a spreadsheet or invoice export and paste them in. New ingredients and suppliers are added for you.

📱

Works on the tablet on the pass

Big buttons, light or dark, and nothing to install. Use it on a phone, tablet or the office PC.

Early access

PantrySum is in early access

We’re setting kitchens up one at a time and shaping PantrySum with the chefs who use it. Try it free for 14 days with no card needed. To keep using it after your trial, get in touch and we’ll talk you through access and pricing.

Questions

Does it pull prices from the supermarkets automatically?

Not yet. Pak’nSave, Woolworths and New World don’t offer a public price feed for businesses, so you enter prices or paste them in from a spreadsheet. Once you have, every recipe that uses them updates automatically. We’ll add live feeds where suppliers make them available.

How do I cost a recipe?

Work out the cost per gram from the pack price, allow for trim, add up the batch and divide by portions. Our step-by-step recipe costing guide walks through it with a worked example in NZ dollars.

Can I add my wholesalers?

Yes. Add any supplier, such as Bidfood, Gilmours, Service Foods or your local butcher, and enter their prices the same way.

Does it replace Fresho?

No. Keep ordering the way you do now. PantrySum handles the bit Fresho doesn’t: what each dish costs and what it should sell for.

What does it cost?

It’s free for 14 days. PantrySum is in early access, so after your trial contact us and we’ll agree access and pricing with you before anything is charged.
