What Ratatool is

Ratatool is web software for food-service businesses coordinating recipes, costs, production, purchasing, inventory, and traceability. Users can build recipes from supplier ingredients and sub-recipes, then calculate ingredient costs, food cost, and margins. The product records supplier price history and can notify users when an ingredient reaches a critical threshold. Teams can plan production needs and turn quantities into supplier orders. Traceability tools cover allergens, nutrition labels, expiration dates, and batch numbers. Ratatool also supports recipe printing and PDF, CSV, and Excel exports, as well as CSV imports. Its invoice-scanning feature uses AI to help load initial data. Multi-site organizations can manage locations and invite employees with assigned rights. The maker describes support as responsive; plans list email and chat, with phone assistance on Premium. Subscriptions auto-renew, but users can cancel, upgrade, or downgrade from their account. A free ESSAI plan includes 4 recipes and 15 ingredients without a subscription or credit card. Paid plans are billed annually: STANDARD at 24 € per month and PREMIUM at 41 € per month.
