Recipe and menu costing
Cost every dish to the gram, including sub-recipes, yields and wastage, and see the margin on each item at a glance.
Core Partner
Peckish
Recipe costing, allergen data and menu engineering, simple enough for a busy kitchen to keep up to date.
Peckish is a recipe costing and menu management platform. Every dish is costed to the gram including sub-recipes, yields and wastage, and allergen and nutritional information is generated from the ingredients you have already entered.
When a supplier price moves, every affected dish is re-costed, so margin erosion is visible the same week rather than at the end of the quarter. Menu engineering views then show which dishes are worth keeping, repricing or retiring.
Fully Baked is a Peckish Core Partner. We load and sanity-check your ingredient data, build the recipe library, set up allergen reporting and train your chefs so the numbers stay trustworthy.
What Peckish does
Allergen and nutrition data
Allergen and nutritional information derived from the ingredients in the recipe, ready for menus, labels and staff reference.
Supplier price updates
When an ingredient price changes, every dish that uses it is re-costed so margin erosion is visible immediately.
Menu engineering
Compare dishes by popularity and profitability to decide what stays, what is repriced and what comes off the menu.
Stock and inventory
Counts, usage and variance tied to the same ingredient data as your recipes, so the numbers agree.
Clear, simple interface
Designed so a head chef or small operator can run it without a finance background or a training week.
Where it stands out
- Exceptionally strong on recipe costing, allergens and nutrition — the detail many systems treat as an afterthought
- Straightforward enough for independents and small groups to adopt quickly
- Instant visibility when a supplier price rise eats into a dish margin
- Useful menu engineering view for deciding what to reprice or retire
- Good fit alongside an existing POS without a heavy integration project
Our honest view
Peckish is our recommendation when costing and allergens are the priority and a full purchasing suite would be overkill. Independents and small groups get to accurate plate costs faster with it than with heavier platforms.
If you run a central kitchen with lots of internal transfers and complex multi-supplier purchasing, we will usually point you at one of our other Core Partners instead — and tell you plainly why.
Peckish questions we get asked
What does Peckish do?
It is a recipe costing and menu management platform: dish costing down to the gram, allergen and nutrition information generated from ingredients, supplier price tracking, stock and menu engineering.
Is Peckish right for a single restaurant?
Yes — it is one of the better choices for independents and small groups, because accurate costing and allergen data are available without a long implementation.
Does it produce allergen information for our menus?
Allergen and nutritional data is derived from the ingredients in each recipe, so it stays accurate as recipes change. We help you validate the source data during setup, which is where accuracy is won or lost.
What does Fully Baked do on a Peckish project?
We load and check your ingredient and supplier data, build your recipe library, set up allergen reporting, train your chefs, and review dish margins with you once real data is flowing.
