What COGS-Well is

COGS-Well is web-based inventory, recipe, and cost management software for restaurants, bars, and other food and beverage operations. It scans invoices, supports mobile inventory counts, suggests orders, handles purchase orders, tracks waste, and manages transfers between locations. Recipe tools cost prep and menu recipes, keep recipe versions, and model menu prices against target costs or profits. Cost analysis compares theoretical inventory use with actual use to expose variances. Menu Engineering ranks items by popularity and profitability, identifying Stars and Dogs. Multi-location features cover shared recipes, purchases, transfers, costs, reports, and user levels across concepts and sites. Commissary transfers can convert recipes into destination inventory and export accounting adjustments to a general ledger. Integrations include POS, suppliers, accounting, accounts-payable automation, and analytics systems. Foundation costs $199 a month per restaurant or business location; Comprehensive costs 298.00 USD monthly per location, and Add POS Financials is 49.00 USD monthly. There is no free plan.
