Until now, opening a cafe meant three disconnected jobs: a financial model in one spreadsheet, your cafe recipe costing in another, then loading it into your POS and hoping it added up.
HospoSure joins them. Financial modelling and your menu come together as you build, then flow straight into Square: one connected tool for cafe startup planning, not three that never talk.
250+ chef tested cafe recipe templates from our test kitchen library, written for working cafe kitchens. You don't write a recipe or run a single calculation. Each pre-costed cafe recipe comes with the prep, the plating and the costs done, so the 21-year-old on the pass can turn it out the same way every shift.
Spring, summer, autumn, winter: fresh seasonal dishes that keep your menu moving all year round.
Open any dish and you get a full specification, not a recipe scribble. It covers recipe and preparation method, portion sizes, hold times, plating reference images, service instructions for the pass, and allergen information.
It all comes ready to use, structured so your team can recreate the dish consistently, plate it the same way each service, and push it live to your Square menu. Select the dish, load it into your system, and hand the card to the team for prep and service.
These are the numbers that close cafes, and none of it has to apply to yours. Drop in your overheads, labour and opening costs, and HospoSure turns each hard truth into a plan you can read, so you know it works before you sign the lease.

is the food cost range to control. The ATO puts cost of sales for coffee shops at 33 to 42% of turnover, depending on size.
the median age of an Australian cook. Many on the pass are younger, so the menu has to work for them.
Your overheads, labour and opening costs become cash flow, food cost and break-even, so you know the numbers work before you sign the lease, not after.
Every dish is costed live as you build, so you hold your food cost in the 25 to 35% range that keeps a cafe alive, from day one.
Recipes built by chefs, shaped to your cafe and pre-costed, come with the prep and plating done, so whoever is on the pass turns out the same plate every shift.
The HospoSure dashboard pulls revenue, food cost, labour and gross profit into a single live view, updated from your Square sales. See where the money is, spot what is leaking, and ask Jodie what to do next, with every number tied back to the plan you opened on.
