Cost every dish, price it for profit, and keep on top of allergens

Mizen does the sums a spreadsheet makes you do by hand, and keeps them right when your prices change.

Scan an invoice, update your prices

Take a photo of a supplier invoice, or upload the PDF. Mizen reads each line, matches it to your ingredients and shows what’s gone up or down since last time.

Choose Update price, Add new or Skip for each line
Nothing changes until you apply it, so you can catch anything the scan misread
Photos or PDFs, up to 10 MB each

Mizen on a phone, checking a Brakes invoice. Each line shows the new price per unit, the old price and the change, with buttons to update the price, add a new ingredient or skip the line.

Price every dish for the profit you want

Set a target gross profit for each dish and Mizen suggests the selling price before VAT, and the menu price with 20% VAT added.

Anything that can’t be converted is marked Not costed, never guessed

The costing for steak and ale pie with mash and gravy. Its components cost £2.68 in total. With a 70% target gross profit, the suggested price is £8.92 before VAT and £10.70 with 20% VAT.

Allergens, worked out from the ingredients up

Record the 14 allergens on each ingredient once. Mizen carries them through every batch recipe, recipe and menu item that uses it, and the Allergen Report shows your whole menu in one table.

Mizen can only be as accurate as the details you enter, so always double-check it against your recipes and product labels.
