What iCOST PRO is
iCOST PRO is a web-based costing service for restaurants, bars, and hotels. It calculates recipe and beverage costs from ingredients, yields, and supplier prices, including cost per portion and live margin recalculation. Supplier tools show price-change history, compare suppliers side by side, and alert users to margin effects. When a supplier price changes, the system recalculates portion cost, selling price, and profit margin, with spike alerts and minimum gross-profit guardrails. Ingredient records can hold cost, nutrition, allergens, supplier details, and discounts. Management reports, accounting exports, and scheduled summaries are included. The service supports yield and portion scaling, menu profitability, and ingredient price updates, but not inventory tracking. A 30-day full-access trial is available without a credit card. PRO Individual costs €17 a month or €199 a year.
