EZchef is designed around practical restaurant cost-control tasks rather than abstract financial reporting.
The software connects three closely related areas of restaurant management:
Maintain food and beverage inventory items, organize physical inventory counts, create vendor order guides, and keep ingredient pricing current.

As you can imagine, Stoney provides excellent security. He is our fourth German Shepherd dog, and by far the smartest. When not working chasing squirrels, snakes and lizards, he is proficient at laying around and waiting for meals and snacks.
EZchef customers include independent and multi-unit restaurants as well as hotels, clubs, resorts, caterers, colleges, convention centers, stadiums, and other hospitality and foodservice organizations.
The common need across these operations is better visibility into inventory costs, recipe costs, menu pricing, and profitability without requiring an overly complicated restaurant management system.
EZchef brings restaurant inventory management, menu costing, recipe costing, and Menu Engineering together in one practical Windows-based Microsoft Excel application.
The goal is not to replace every restaurant system. EZchef is focused specifically on helping restaurant operators better understand and control the relationship between ingredient costs, inventory, menu pricing, and profitability.
That focus reflects the restaurant operating and financial-management experience of the people behind the software.
The free EZchef demo includes sample Inventory, Menu Items, Sub-Recipes, and Menu Engineering data so you can explore how the software works before purchasing.
