Menu costing

Know your real margin on every plate and pour.

Managers log ingredient and batch costs once, build recipes on top of them, and NIX86 shows the true cost, current margin, and suggested price for everything on the menu.

What's inside Menu Costing

Precise ingredient costs

Pack cost, case size, and bottle size drive a per-ounce (or per-pound) cost automatically.

Batch costing

Cost a house sour mix or pizza sauce once; every cocktail or pie that uses it inherits the right cost.

Multiple pour sizes

A 16 oz pint, a 10 oz pour, and a pitcher can all pull from the same keg with the right cost each.

Target margin pricing

Set your goal margin and see current vs. suggested price for every item, filtered by category.

True margin tracking

Spot the menu items quietly losing money before the month-end numbers do.

Linked to inventory

Recipes deplete stock as you sell, so counts and costs always agree.
