meez

meez is web-based recipe management and food costing software for professional kitchens. Chefs store and scale recipes, cost them with live ingredient prices from invoices or connected back-office systems, build training guides, tag allergens and engineer menus. It is sold to single kitchens, multi-unit restaurant groups and foodservice operators, with plans from an individual-chef tier up to custom enterprise contracts.

Who it is for

  • Multi-unit restaurant groups

    One version-controlled recipe library pushed to every kitchen, with costing kept consistent across locations.

  • Culinary directors and executive chefs

    Replaces recipe binders, spreadsheets and PDFs with costed, searchable recipes.

  • Restaurant365 users

    Native integration passes costs from R365 into meez and yield-adjusted recipe data back to R365.

  • Individual chefs and single kitchens

    A Starter plan at $19 a month billed annually covers recipe organisation and basic costing.

Less suited to: Businesses outside the U.S. and Canada: the demo form states meez is built for restaurant and foodservice teams in those markets, and meez is not accounting software.
