Guac review
A detailed recipe system for retail and commissary teams, with contact-sales pricing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Guac is a cloud-based recipe management and fresh-operations platform from Guac, Inc. It is positioned primarily for grocery retailers and fresh-grocery operations, with a recipe module built for retail, buyer, store, and commissary workflows. Teams can create and manage recipes, record ingredients, preparation times, instructions, and yields, and create custom recipe cards for store teams. The platform also supports parent recipes, subrecipes, component ingredients, and recipe usage.
Recipe data is the product’s strongest area. Guac automatically tags recipes with allergen and nutrition data, calculates material and labor costs, and helps teams monitor margins. Unit conversion includes weight-to-volume conversions, while partial-yield support addresses batch recipes that do not produce a full planned yield. Version history and audit trails provide a record of recipe changes. These capabilities make Guac suited to organizations that need structured recipe information across retail and commissary operations rather than a simple recipe library.
The platform runs on the web and provides an API for importing and exporting recipe data. It connects with order guides, product lists, existing product and recipe data, and store, buyer, and commissary workflows. Custom cloud-native integrations are also supported. Pricing is contact-sales, and customized solutions are described alongside forecasting, ordering, production planning, and inventory workflows. Guac should appeal to grocery teams that need recipe costing, compliance-related data, yield handling, and controlled versioning in one system. Businesses seeking a general restaurant tool with publicly listed plans or broader conventional integrations should consider alternatives.
