Decision log
Keep the price. Review the supplier. Publish recipe v4 to the team.
Free checklist
Your margin may be leaking outside the recipe.
Use the checklist to review forgotten costs, outdated prices, and incomplete data. To go further, send three documents and get an initial reading: what is confirmed, what is missing, and where to start.
Prices left behind
Find products whose selling price has not kept up with recent supplier increases.
Numbers with a clear source
Separate invoice-confirmed values from estimates and data that still needs review.
One concrete next step
Prioritize the products and costs that need attention first without reviewing everything at once.
How it works
From scattered documents to a concrete decision.
Use the files your business already produces. Karu organizes the information and keeps every change under your review.
Upload what you already use
Invoices, recipes, menus, photos, PDFs, and spreadsheets go into the same inbox.
Review what Karu found
AI organizes ingredients, units, suppliers, prices, and products into drafts waiting for your confirmation.
Decide with context
Compare cost, selling price, margin, and suppliers to see what is worth fixing first.

Recipes stay usable when the kitchen Wi-Fi is weak.
Locked down
Staff logins cannot edit prices, margins, or suppliers.
Versioned
Published recipes remain stable until a new version is approved.
