What you get

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Cilurzo Foodcost is recipe costing and menu engineering software for restaurants. Build dishes from ingredients and sub-recipes and get cost price, food cost percentage and gross margin per dish automatically — recalculated the moment a supplier price changes.

🧾

Ingredients & supplier prices

Keep every ingredient, unit and supplier price in one place, so a costing never rests on last year's invoice.

📖

Recipes & sub-recipes

Build dishes from ingredients and other recipes — sauces, stocks and prepped components all count towards the real cost.

📊

Food cost % & gross margin

Cost price, food cost percentage and gross margin per dish, calculated automatically and updated with every price change.

🎯

Menu price simulator

Try a selling price and see the impact on your margin instantly, before you reprint the menu.

🔔

Price monitoring

Update one supplier price and immediately see which dishes drop below your target margin.

🎁

Included free

Foodcost comes free with every Pro and Ultimate account — no add-on fee.

In practice

From invoice to margin, without a spreadsheet

Enter your ingredients and prices once. After that you reuse them in every recipe, and a price change flows through to everything that uses that ingredient.

  • ✓Sub-recipes are costed once and counted correctly everywhere
  • ✓See immediately which dishes drag your average food cost up
  • ✓Simulate a new selling price before you change the menu
  • ✓Links to your menu in Orders

Ready for the AI web

Your guest will ask her assistant. Make sure you are the answer.

Every order an assistant passes on is a dish leaving your kitchen. Your margin should be counting it. Cilurzo makes your venue reachable in the three places that conversation already happens — and never lets the computer promise anything you cannot deliver.

Why this is safe

The assistant asks. Your system decides.

1

The guest just asks for what she wants

In WhatsApp, on the phone or in her own assistant. No app, no account, no form.

2

Cilurzo does the maths, not the AI

Free tables, opening hours, ticket stock, prices, delivery zones and minimum spend all come from exactly the same checks as your own booking page. A language model cannot make anything true here.

3

It only counts once confirmed

A click in the guest's own inbox, or a successful payment. If neither happens, the request expires after two hours and your table is free again.

Future-proof by design

And next year? It still works.

The connection runs on MCP — the Model Context Protocol, the standard plug the major AI assistants use to talk to real systems. Your venue plugs in once. Whichever assistant turns up next simply speaks the same language.

See how an AI assistant books with you →
  • One open standard instead of a separate integration per assistant.
  • A new assistant arrives? It speaks the same protocol — nothing for you to do.
  • No scraping and no imitated forms: the assistant reads your real data, live.
  • You stay in charge: off by default, one tick to switch on, and every booking shows the source "agent" plus the name of the assistant that asked.
  • No extra cost and no separate contract. It is part of your subscription.
Built-in AI

A calculator that thinks along

Cilurzo flags which dishes come under pressure the moment your purchase prices move.

🔍

Margin alerts

As soon as a dish drops below your target margin you see it in your overview, not at year-end.

🧮

Automatic recalculation

One supplier price change recalculates every dish and sub-recipe using that ingredient.

💡

Price guidance

The simulator shows which selling price you need to hit a target food cost percentage.

All prices exclude VAT, per venue. Foodcost is included free with every Pro and Ultimate account. Four paid modules bought separately come to €316 a month, so Ultimate at €250 saves you €66 every month — and a separate reservation, ordering, ticketing, scheduling and food-cost tool together cost far more than that.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What restaurateurs ask us before they start.

What is a healthy food cost percentage?
Most restaurants aim for 28–35% food cost on dishes and considerably lower on drinks. Cilurzo calculates it per dish, so you can see exactly which items drag your average up.
Do I have to enter everything by hand?
You enter each ingredient and supplier price once. After that you reuse them across every recipe and sub-recipe, and a single supplier price change flows through to every dish that uses it.
Does Foodcost cost extra?
No. Foodcost is included free with every Pro and Ultimate account.
Can it handle sub-recipes like sauces and stocks?
Yes. A recipe can contain other recipes, so a jus that goes into four dishes is costed once and counted correctly everywhere.
What is the "agentic web", in plain language?
Instead of searching, clicking and filling in a form, people ask an assistant and it arranges things for them. The agentic web is the version of the internet where that assistant can actually act — book a table, buy a ticket, place an order — rather than only talk about it. Cilurzo makes your venue one of the places where that is possible.
Do orders from AI assistants count towards my margin?
Yes. They run through your normal menu, so every dish carries the same recipe and cost price as an order taken at the counter.
Can an assistant fill my diary with fake bookings?
No. An assistant can only request what a guest could request on your own page, and even that only becomes real after a payment or a click in a real inbox. Unconfirmed requests expire after two hours, and there are rate limits per address and per guest email across all bookings.
What does all this AI reachability cost extra?
Bookings through AI assistants cost nothing extra — they are part of every plan, the free Lite tier included. The WhatsApp and phone assistants are part of Ultimate and of the 14-day trial; for the phone assistant the telecoms minutes are charged on at cost.
