Most operators don’t lose margin because of poor management they lose it because cost data isn’t easily visible in one place.
Common challenges we hear every day:
Supplier prices change constantly, but the impact on menu items is unclear
Recipes live in spreadsheets, Google Docs, and chef notebooks
No clean view of theoretical vs. actual food cost by item or category
Preps, sauces, and batch items are difficult to cost and maintain
Food cost problems only surface after month-end closes too late to react
Menu changes and specials are often educated guesses instead of data-backed decisions
Rumedy Gram was built to bring clarity and consistency to food cost management.
Rumedy Gram is an ingredient and recipe-level costing platform that transforms invoices, recipes, and sales data into a live, accurate picture of food cost and margin performance, Higher Concession & Merch Sales.
It shows you exactly what each dish costs to produce, how price changes affect margins, and where small adjustments can protect profitability across one location or dozens.

Rumedy Gram is built for independent restaurants and cafés that have outgrown spreadsheets, bars and coffee businesses with complex modifiers and add-ons, franchise operators managing consistency across multiple locations, and commissaries supporting multiple locations. It’s designed to serve owners and operators responsible for P&L, chefs and kitchen or bar managers overseeing recipes and portioning, and accountants or bookkeepers who need clean, reliable COGS data everyone can trust.

Rumedy Gram fits seamlessly into your existing operation by working alongside your current POS and ingesting sales data without disrupting daily workflows. It currently supports sales data from Square, with Toast support coming soon. This approach aligns cleanly with your accounting view of COGS while giving operators and kitchen teams recipe-level clarity. You can start with a small set of key recipes and expand over time, making adoption manageable while supporting both back-of-house teams and ownership decision-makers with consistent, reliable cost insight.
With Rumedy Gram, operators consistently achieve tighter control over food costs, leading to lower food cost percentages and earlier detection of ingredient price creep before it impacts margins. Teams reduce reliance on spreadsheets, gain better alignment between chefs, managers, and ownership, and make menu changes and specials based on real data instead of guesswork. The result is improved profitability without sacrificing food quality or the guest experience.
