Start Larderly MonthlyHow it works
- You send your current menu with prices and the last month of supplier invoices, as photos or PDFs, by e-mail.
- Within 3 business days you get the Larderly workbook filled in for your menu (.xlsx, opens in Excel and Google Sheets, no macros): plate cost, food cost %, profit per plate and the price that hits your target food cost % for every dish, with every recipe line visible.
- Every month you send that month's invoices. You get the updated workbook and a one-page "what moved" report: ingredients that rose more than 5 %, dishes now above your target food cost %, and the price that would bring each one back to target.
- Questions by e-mail, answered within 2 business days.
What the monthly report looks like
From the sample report for a fictional example kitchen (not a real restaurant; prices made up to show the format).
| Dish | Menu price | Plate cost | Food cost % | Last month | Price for 30 % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cheeseburger and fries | $18.00 | $5.50 | 30.5 % | 29.6 % | $18.50 |
| Salmon rice bowl | $26.00 | $7.94 | 30.5 % | 28.4 % | $26.50 |
| Bacon and eggs breakfast | $10.50 | $3.18 | 30.3 % | 29.2 % | $10.75 |
In the sample, salmon went from $11.50 to $12.40 a pound (+7.8 %), which moved the salmon bowl from 28.4 % to 30.5 % food cost. Open the full sample report (PDF, 2 pages).
Questions
- Who does the costing?
- Bardach Technologies LLC (Sebastian Bardach), with the Larderly workbook and with AI assistance. Every delivery is re-checked before it goes out: five dishes are recomputed from your invoices in a second, independent check.
- What happens to my invoices?
- They are used only to cost your menu, kept on my side and never shared or published. Ask and they are removed from our working files.
- Do I have to change my prices?
- No. The report shows the numbers; what you charge is your decision. This is costing, not accounting or tax advice.
- How do I cancel?
- Cancel the membership in Gumroad at any time (link in your receipt). No further charge after that.
- Can I do it myself instead?
- Yes. The plate cost calculator is free, and the Larderly workbook is a one-off USD 29.99.
