The Problem

Your recipes are outpacing your systems.

You updated a recipe spec. Six locations are still running the old one. Food cost is creeping, a dish is getting plated four different ways, and you're spending your day in spreadsheets instead of on the floor.

The binders, the Google Docs, the shared folders — they worked when you had two locations. They don't scale. And every time ingredient prices shift, you're flying blind on margin.

→ There's a better way to run a multi-unit culinary program.
Profit

Your recipes are your margins.
Treat them that way.

meez connects your culinary specs directly to your food cost — so you know exactly what every dish costs before it hits the menu, and the moment an ingredient price changes.

  • Model pricing scenarios and ingredient swaps to see margin impact instantly
  • Live purchasing data keeps costing current automatically — no manual updates
  • Menu engineering gives you full profitability visibility across your entire menu
  • Roll out seasonal updates and spec changes to every location in one step

No exceptions.

When you update a recipe in meez, every kitchen gets the update immediately. No version control chaos. No wondering which binder is current.

  • One central, live recipe hub every team member accesses from any device
  • Step-by-step photos and videos built into every recipe so new cooks train to your standard
  • Automatic scaling and batch calculations eliminate human error on the line
  • Activity logs let you monitor usage and confirm specs are being followed
Profit

  • Finance gets cost reports built on accurate, real-time culinary data
  • Chefs write recipes the way they always have — meez converts them into data ops can trust

OUR ANSWER

meez integrates with back-office systems like Restaurant365 and POS systems such as Toast. It’s designed to make your existing systems more valuable — not replace them.

“We opened two restaurants on the same day for the first time ever, which was only made possible by having all recipes readily available. meez has really been a workhorse for us. It’s become a backbone for our business.”

Jessica Bograd, Senior Director of Culinary at City Barbeque

" For years we had been searching for the perfect tool to manage our massive archive of recipes.  These dishes tell the story of who we were, who we are now, and help us to find out who we are becoming. We looked into many programs that were designed to be the ‘back office’ system for recipes, costing, and inventory, but none were built to be a intuitive database the way meez is. Our only regret is not using it earlier!"

Rick Billings, Chief Culinary Officer at José Andrés Group

The ease of use and real-time recipe updates have eliminated errors and have been a significant time saver. meez has emerged as a valuable ally in Tortazo's quest for culinary excellence and operational efficiency.

“meez is very to the point. I put my recipes in, it automatically calculates everything. I drop in invoice costs, it estimates my COGS, and it runs nutrition. Those are the three things I need, scalable recipes, nutrition, and cost, and meez does it all for me. After years of building massive spreadsheets from scratch, it was a breath of fresh air.”
