Cilurzo Foodcost review
A focused way to track recipe costs, simulate prices, and monitor dish margins.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Cilurzo Foodcost is recipe-costing and menu-engineering software for restaurants and other independent hospitality venues. It is designed for operators who need to record ingredients and supplier prices, build recipes and sub-recipes, calculate food cost and gross margin, simulate menu prices, and monitor changes that affect profitability. The platform is delivered as cloud SaaS and is positioned for independent restaurants, bars, brasseries, and small groups.
Pricing is structured around modules. The Lite plan costs €0 per module monthly and includes the core features of one module, with no credit card needed and the option to upgrade whenever you want. A 14-day free trial is also available. The Pro plan costs €79 per module per month and includes one paid module of choice, every feature of that selected module, and Foodcost at no additional charge. The Ultimate plan costs €250 per month and includes Reservations, Orders, Events, and Planning, plus Foodcost, with support for multiple locations. This makes Lite suitable for basic monitoring, while broader paid functionality carries a recurring module or plan cost.
The standout area is the connection between recipe costing and ongoing margin control. Ingredient and supplier-price management feeds into recipe and sub-recipe costing, automatic food-cost percentage calculation, gross-margin calculation per dish, and menu-price simulation. Supplier-price change monitoring, margin alerts, and automatic recalculation across recipes and sub-recipes help operators identify when updated costs affect existing dishes. Cilurzo Foodcost also lists ChatGPT, Claude, and WhatsApp integrations and includes AI features. Choose it if your priority is focused food-cost and menu-margin monitoring, or if you want those capabilities alongside Cilurzo Hospitality modules. Consider an alternative if you need a broader platform footprint than web access or do not want to pay per module for expanded functionality.
