TMSoftTM Studio Recipe Costing
Know what every dish really costs.
Recipe costing, pricing and invoicing for restaurants, cafes, bakeries and confectioners. Built for a real working kitchen, and it runs on your own PC.
Price with confidence
Sell the same recipe by the piece or as a whole batch, each with its own margin. Update markups in bulk when supplier prices shift, and give wholesale customers their own pricing.
Invoice and get paid
Create invoices with VAT, drafts and partial payments, plus receipts and credit notes. They print as PDFs with your logo and bank details.
See the numbers that matter
The Costing view shows which recipes are under-priced. The Sales view shows sales, cost of goods and who still owes you. Reports export to Excel and PDF.
Credit notes done properly
Credit the whole invoice, only some items, or part of a quantity. The credit note is deducted from what the customer owes, and the cost of sales is reversed with it.
Follow the money
See your sales, your cost of goods and who still owes you in one view, and add your own custom charts.
See where the cost comes from
Break any recipe down to its ingredients, including trimming and baking loss, so its true cost is never a guess.

Questions
Is there a subscription?
No. You pay once. All 1.x updates are free.
Do I need the internet to use it?
No. It runs on your own PC and works offline. If you are online, it can check whether a new version exists by reading a small public file. Your recipes and customer data are never sent anywhere.
Where is my data stored?
In Documents\TM Studio on your own computer. Updating or uninstalling the program does not delete it.
Why does Windows show "Windows protected your PC"?
Windows can show this for new programs when you install from Gumroad or Etsy. Click More info, then Run anyway. If your antivirus asks, choose to allow the file. The Microsoft Store version does not show this message.
Can I try it first?
There is no trial. Refunds are handled by the store you buy from, under that store's own rules.
Does it work on a Mac?
