Our verdict on GastroCore
GastroCore is a web-based inventory and stock-control product for independent restaurants, cafés, pubs and takeaways in the UK. It brings ingredient and stock tracking, recipe costing, margin calculation, waste logging, purchasing, expiry alerts, allergen management, traceability and team controls into one kitchen operations tool. Its compliance-oriented feature set makes it especially relevant to restaurants that need structured records around allergens, batches, waste and food safety reporting.
Pricing is presented through one plan with two billing options. The monthly GastroCore plan costs £59 per month and includes unlimited ingredients, recipes with PDF and allergen support, food waste tracking, purchase orders, batch traceability and team management. The annual GastroCore plan costs £531 per year and lists the same features. A 14-day free trial is available. The published plans therefore keep the feature scope straightforward, with the main choice being monthly or annual billing rather than different feature tiers.
GastroCore is delivered as a responsive web product for phones, tablets and desktops, which supports access across common screen sizes without broadening the platform beyond the web. Its named integration is NEXUS POS, described as part of the vendor’s own suite and marked as launching soon. That narrower ecosystem may matter to restaurants that need several POS or accounting connections. Choose GastroCore if UK allergen tracking, batch traceability, EHO-ready reporting, food-cost control and waste records are central requirements. Choose an alternative if native mobile software, a wider integration ecosystem or AI features are priorities.
