The menu is where a cafe makes its money. Plenty get costed once in a spreadsheet and never looked at again.
We build your menu with you and cost every dish. One click puts it on your POS. Each week you see what's selling and what needs fixing.
Set out how your cafe trades, including its size, hours and roster. Then build your menu from the Test Kitchen, our cafe recipe library of 250+ chef tested, pre-costed menu ideas, or bring in your own. Set a price and expected sales for each dish and drink.
Want help building your cafe menu? Tim works out who your cafe serves and the business model behind it. Then he shapes the menu with you, starting from Test Kitchen dishes.

Each card has the method, portion size, hold time, plating photos, service notes for the pass and allergens.
Your team makes the dish the same way every service, and you push it to your Square menu from the same card. Fresh seasonal dishes keep the menu moving through the year.
GP figures are worked examples from the Demo venue, not results.
Add your opening costs, overheads, payroll and suppliers. Each dish is costed down to its ingredients, so you see what it earns, and the plan for the whole cafe runs on real figures.
Chet goes through your costs with you and checks the numbers before your menu goes onto the POS. Benchmarks flag any cost that runs high.
Chetan Shroff, Customer Service
Your menu goes into Square in one click. A second click sends the photos, which take a few minutes for a full menu. Nobody keys anything in by hand, and every change you make goes across the same way.
Michael watches your Square connection and every sync, so the till always matches your menu.

Your sales come back from Square. Each week, Actual Sales sets your takings against the plan day by day and tells you what to change for the rest of the week.

Jodie, In app helper
Each month the Test Kitchen adds new chef tested, pre-costed menu ideas, so you always have something fresh to try. Your sales show what to change next, and Menu Engineering lets you test a change before you make it. Apply what works and push the menu to Square again.
Nothing changes until you apply it. Keep the changes that work and the extra margin on the menu you already sell is yours.
You, Cafe owner

the median age of an Australian cook. Many on the pass are younger, so the menu has to work for them.
Your overheads, labour costs 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 28 to 35% range that keeps a cafe alive, from day one.
Chef built recipes come pre-costed and shaped to your cafe, with the prep and plating worked out. Whoever is on shift plates the same dish.
