What it does
- A recipe card per dish: every ingredient in grams or millilitres, with supplier and purchase price.
- Food cost and margin per plate, in CHF and per cent, against your target.
- The menu sorted by margin: stars, plowhorses, puzzles and dogs.
- New supplier prices from the invoice: Nordane shows which dishes are hit and proposes prices. You approve.
Why it mattersMost menus are priced once and then left alone while suppliers raise prices. Two points of food cost on one popular dish quietly add up to well over a thousand francs a year.
