What FoodNotify is
FoodNotify provides food costing software for restaurants, using supplier product data to build recipes and update each dish’s cost of goods sold (COGS). Recipe calculations use ingredient prices, quantities, and allergens. Users can set COGS thresholds and receive alerts when costs rise above or fall below them; recipes also show current and previous costs alongside a chart comparing target and actual COGS. FoodNotify says it connects to any POS system and names Lightspeed, SIDES, Shiji, and Amadeus among its integrations. POS setup is included in account setup costs. The mobile app supports ordering and inventory workflows on iPhone, iPad, and Android, but requires an active account. The Starter plan costs €174.90 per month for one location and includes procurement, recipes, self-setup, one automated supplier connection, and unlimited manual supplier shops. Pro and Enterprise use custom pricing. The service says data is protected with 256-bit encryption and offers support through chat or a ticket system.
