Buffet & Recipe Costing
Stop finding out your food cost was wrong at month-end
Know today whether your buffet is making money or quietly losing it, not weeks later when stocktake finally catches up.
A buffet cover isn't one line on a menu. It's dozens of ingredients walking out of your kitchen every time a guest sits down.
Most systems bill the guest for breakfast and stop there. Nuru also deducts the real ingredients that breakfast actually used, so you know the true cost the same day, not at your next stocktake.
Catch the leak before it becomes a habit
See the gap between what should have been used and what actually was, by ingredient, every day it happens.
Stop guessing your real margin
Know what a buffet cover actually costs to serve, not an estimate based on last year's supplier invoice.
One number everyone trusts
The kitchen, the accountant, and the owner are all looking at the same figure, because it comes from the same system.
Nothing to reconcile later
Meal entitlement billing and ingredient cost post from the same event, so the two sides always agree.

Frequently asked questions
Does this replace my stocktake process?
No. It sits alongside it and gives you a daily early warning instead of finding out at your next full stocktake.
Do I need to build recipes for everything first?
Only for buffet and set-menu items you want costed this way. À la carte items can stay as they are.
What if my kitchen doesn't measure precisely today?
Start with your best current estimate. Variance reporting is what helps you tighten the numbers over time.
