Know when to raise your prices.
Good Provisions watches your ingredient costs and tells you exactly which dishes need a price change — and by how much — before margin slips away. Built for independent restaurants, not enterprise software budgets.
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.
Know exactly which prices to raise — and by how much.
Every time a vendor invoice updates an ingredient cost, Good Provisions recalculates every dish on your menu and flags the ones now running over your food cost target.
No spreadsheet. No guesswork. Just a recommendation: raise this dish to $X to get back on target, with one click to apply it. Most operators find their first recovery in under five minutes.

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.

Questions operators usually ask.
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.
Does it work with Toast?
Yes. Export your weekly Toast sales CSV and import it into Good Provisions. The app helps match sold items to recipes so you can review food cost and margin.
