Inside KitchenCost v0.1.2
A café’s working day,
in one desktop workspace.
These are genuine screens from an isolated Windows demonstration of KitchenCost v0.1.2. Riverside Café, its suppliers and all records are fictional.

Recipe library
Keep your café recipes together
Fourteen Riverside Café recipes show batch costs and cost per portion, from breakfast favourites to lunch service.
Recipe costing
See what goes into each plate
Review ingredient quantities and each line’s contribution before choosing a selling price. Costs are calculated from the saved ingredient records.
Menu profitability
Price with a clearer view of food cost
Compare food-cost percentages with your targets and review gross profit. Gross profit is not net business profit: labour and overheads still matter.
Stocktake
Turn a count into a useful valuation
Record full packs and loose quantities, then review counted inventory value and ingredients below PAR. A stocktake is a snapshot, not a live stock balance.
Supplier orders
Organise the next delivery
Keep supplier orders, pack quantities and estimated totals in one place. Follow draft, ordered and received records alongside your ingredient list.
Waste tracking
Make recorded waste visible
Log ingredients or prepared portions with a reason and cost. Review patterns in the records to inform your preparation decisions.
Temperature logs
Keep daily readings together
Record storage temperatures and review outside-target readings and corrective actions. Logs support your routine; they do not establish food-safety compliance.
Operational reports
Review the information behind the totals
Explore menu profitability, counted inventory, purchasing, waste, ingredient prices and temperature records in the available report tables.
From cost control to closing time

the work behind the menu.

Recipe costing

Supplier orders
Create and manage supplier orders alongside your ingredient and supplier records.
Waste tracking
Record kitchen waste and review its cost as part of day-to-day operations.

Local data & backups
Keep kitchen records locally and use the backup tools to protect your work. Back up before installing updates.

A few helpful
answers.
Who is KitchenCost for?
KitchenCost is designed for independent cafés and restaurants that want to manage food costs and everyday kitchen operations.
What computer do I need?
KitchenCost v0.1.2 is a Windows x64 desktop application. It is not a browser, Mac or mobile application. Try it on your intended Windows computer before purchasing.
How does the 7-day trial work?
Download the Windows x64 installer directly and open KitchenCost to evaluate it for 7 days. No payment or card details are needed to download or start the application trial. After the trial, activate a license to continue making changes; your existing records remain available. Reinstalling or updating does not start a new trial.
How do I activate my license?
After purchase, check your purchase email for the license key. Open KitchenCost → Settings → License, paste the key into License key, and select Activate License while connected to the internet. Confirm that the status shows Licensed. The dashboard’s Buy / Activate button also opens license settings. If the key is missing or activation fails, email hello@cherosmilda.com.au; do not purchase again.
Where can I download after buying?
The installer is available without payment or GitHub sign-in through every download button on this website. You can use the same installer before or after purchase; activate the application with your license key. Keep this website’s download link if your purchase email does not include it.
Can I request a refund or get support?
For product, license delivery, activation or refund enquiries, email hello@cherosmilda.com.au. No discretionary refund period, guaranteed response time or lifetime support entitlement has been confirmed. Review the applicable checkout terms and your statutory rights before purchasing.
What does the lifetime license include?
The advertised license is a one-time lifetime license, with up to two device activations supported in v0.1.2. See the checkout and applicable license terms before buying. A lifetime license is not a promise of lifetime support or all future major-version updates.
Do I need an internet connection?
Kitchen records are stored locally. Live license activation and validation use Lemon Squeezy and require connectivity. This site does not promise that every function works without internet access.
How do I download or update?
Use the download button for the public v0.1.2 Windows installer. Existing v0.1.1 users can upgrade; back up your kitchen data before updating.
Are the screenshots from v0.1.2?
Yes. All ten screenshots show the actual KitchenCost v0.1.2 Windows application, running with a separate fictional Riverside Café database. Select an image to view the original PNG at full size.
What if I need help or have a purchase question?
