Chef-built

Built by a working chef in New Hampshire, not a software team guessing what kitchens need.

Real restaurant workflow

Invoices, recipes, menu prices, Toast sales, prep, inventory, and weekly review in one decision loop.

Clear pricing

Core starts at $30/month. Premium adds AI tools for operators who want deeper help.

Best first win

Start where the money is hiding.

Most margin problems do not come from one big mistake. They come from vendor price creep, over-prep, frozen menu prices, and sales reports that never connect back to recipes.

You do not need to cost your whole menu first. Start with your top 10 sellers and find the dishes that are quietly hurting the week.

Built and tested in a real restaurant

Built from the problem, not from a boardroom.

I have worked in real kitchens where invoices change, recipes drift, menu prices fall behind, and nobody has time to babysit a spreadsheet.

Good Provisions is being shaped inside a real independent restaurant using real vendor invoices, real recipes, real prep lists, and real weekly operating problems.

Do I need to cost my whole menu first?

No. Start with your top 10 sellers. That is usually where the biggest money is hiding and where small mistakes matter most.

Yes. You get a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. Start with Core, then upgrade if AI saves enough time to justify it.
