Everything for Recipe Mastery

From AI recipe generation to menu profitability intelligence — every tool your kitchen, bar, and finance team needs to control costs and drive profit.

AI Recipe Generation
Type a dish name and AI creates the full recipe — ingredients, quantities, method steps, and estimated costs. Works for food, cocktails, wine pairings, spirits flights, and draught beer recipes with automatic type detection.
AI-Powered
Cocktail Menu OCR
Photograph or upload a PDF of any cocktail menu and AI extracts every recipe instantly — ingredients, measurements, garnishes, and method. Build your entire cocktail bible from a single scan.
AI-Powered
Live Cost Calculation
Every recipe is linked to your actual supplier prices. When a price changes, recipe costs update instantly. See cost per portion, food cost %, GP%, and margin in real time — no spreadsheets, no guessing.
BCG Matrix Menu Engineering
Every dish is classified as a Star, Puzzle, Plough Horse, or Dog based on profitability and popularity. One-click profitability dashboard shows exactly which items to promote, reprice, rework, or remove.
New
Allergen & Dietary Compliance
All 14 EU allergens tracked automatically from ingredient level through sub-recipes to final dishes. AI detects allergens you might miss. Full Natasha’s Law and EU FIC compliance with dietary labels for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and more.
Compliance
Sub-Recipe Nesting
Build sauces, stocks, bases, and prep items as sub-recipes, then nest them into any dish. Costs cascade through every level automatically. Change a base recipe once and every dish that uses it updates.
Chef-Friendly Scaling
Scale any recipe from 1 portion to 500 with a single click. Quantities, costs, and prep instructions adjust automatically. Measurements are rounded to kitchen-friendly fractions — ⅓ not 0.333 — so your team can actually use them.
Hospitality Only
Semantic Version Control
Every recipe change is tracked with full version history. Compare any two versions side by side to see exactly what changed — ingredients, quantities, costs, and method steps. Roll back to any previous version instantly.
Nutritional Analysis
Auto-calculate calories, protein, carbs, fat, fibre, and micronutrients per portion from your actual ingredients. Generate compliant nutrition labels for pre-packaged items — ready for display or print.
Stock & Inventory Integration
Recipes connect directly to your stock. Run a “what if” analysis to see the impact of producing 50 portions before you start. Auto-deduct ingredients when dishes are sold through POS, and get expiry warnings for perishable items.
New
Draught Beer & Spirits Recipes
Purpose-built for bars: draught beer recipes include foam loss adjustment so your cost-per-pint is accurate to the millilitre. Spirits flights and wine pairings are first-class recipe types alongside food and cocktails.
Hospitality Only
Recipe Marketplace
Browse and import recipes shared across the Inntally community. Adapt them to your suppliers and pricing instantly. Share your own creations to build your reputation — with ratings and reviews from fellow chefs.

Live Costing

Know Your Exact Cost Per Plate — Always

Every ingredient in every recipe is linked to your real supplier prices through Inntally’s Digital Identity system. When a supplier updates a price, your recipe costs update instantly across every dish. Four tiers of costing — ingredient, sub-recipe, recipe, and menu item — give you complete visibility from raw material to final plate.

Cost per portion, food cost %, GP%, and margin updated in real time
Yield & waste factors per ingredient for true cost accuracy
Price variance alerts when ingredients push you above target food cost
AI suggests cheaper supplier alternatives with margin impact calculations
