The spreadsheet follows the work. You do not have to learn the spreadsheet.

From delivery to decision.

The workflow mirrors the real job instead of forcing you into a generic accounting app.

Record what came in

Deliveries, pack sizes and supplier prices feed the numbers that matter later.

2

Record what moved

Sales and waste update expected stock and show where reality differs from theory.

3

See what to do

Purchase lists, food cost, pricing references and menu signals turn data into action.

“Calculate → understand → decide → improve.”

The tool does not replace your judgment. It gives your judgment better information.

Questions people normally ask

Short answers, because you probably have a service to run.

Is this a subscription?

No. Stock Planner and Chef Toolkit PRO are one-time purchases. Download the purchased version and keep using it.

Do I need advanced Excel skills?

No. The workbook is designed around tasks, with clear input areas and automatic calculation areas.

Does the suggested price tell me what I must charge?

No. It is a reference based on your target food cost. You still decide the final price based on your market, concept, taxes, labour and other costs.

Is contribution the same as profit?

No. Contribution is selling price minus ingredient cost in the free calculator. Other operating costs still need to be covered.

Can my staff use the workbook?

Yes, for the licensed business/location. Redistribution, resale or public upload of the files is not allowed.

Will future major upgrades always be free?

Your purchased version does not expire. Major future editions may be sold separately.
