About MarginCub
Built for operators who price by feel.
Recipe costing and menu pricing for restaurants, food trucks, bakers, and caterers. Change one ingredient price - every dependent dish recalculates instantly.
Why we built this
Most operators manage food cost in Excel. Excel works - until an ingredient price changes and formulas break, or a sheet copy-paste loses a weight unit, or you realize the chicken price you typed last March no longer matches reality.
MarginCub solves that. Enter ingredient prices once. Every dependent recipe, batch, and menu price recalculates the moment a cost moves.
Who it's for
Small restaurants
1-3 locations. Owner-operated kitchens that need cost clarity without an enterprise stack.
Food trucks & pop-ups
Per-event pricing where supplier prices and venue fees swing every week.
Cottage bakers
Home-based bakers selling at markets or by order. Weight-based ingredients, batch yields, per-unit cost.
Caterers
Repeat events with shared base recipes. Scale once, price every guest count.
Ghost kitchens
Thin margins, multi-brand menus. Track which dishes actually clear delivery-app fees.
Cafés & coffee shops
Drinks, pastries, lunch SKUs - one library, one cost view across the menu.
