RTC SCORE

7.2

#8 of 11 with enough data

Our verdict

A recipe-first tool that adds inventory counts on Pro, month to month. It does not read your POS sales below Enterprise, so it is not a full actual-versus-theoretical system on its own.

What we like

Month-to-month billing on published plans, a 14-day free trial and no setup fee on Pro.
Recipe costing on every plan, with built-in yields and unit conversions.
Inventory counts in any unit of measure from the Pro plan.
No early termination fee; you keep access until the end of the period you paid.

What to watch

No POS connection below Enterprise, so Pro cannot compare actual and theoretical food cost from your sales.
Invoice processing starts on Premium; on Pro you enter costs by hand or by spreadsheet.
No bar inventory by weight or pour is documented.
Pro is limited to 5 active devices at a time, and there is no native mobile app yet.
