For Cloud kitchens
Several menus, one inventory, and the margin after delivery fees.
Delivery-only kitchens win on speed of iteration and tight margins. Platform commissions and packaging can erase a dish’s profit. AKROUN FOOD AI shows the net margin per dish after those costs and keeps every brand’s recipes on the same stock.
The daily reality
What usually goes wrong
- A dish that looks profitable on paper loses money once the platform commission is deducted.
- Three brands buying the same chicken with three different par levels.
- Menus iterated weekly with no time to write and cost new recipes.
- Recipe versions drifting as the team changes things on the fly.
- Listings asking for nutrition and allergen information nobody has.
How AKROUN FOOD AI helps
Feature: Operating costs
Margins after commissions and packaging
Enter platform fees as a % of sales and packaging or rent as fixed costs; the menu cost report shows net margin per dish, worst first.
Feature: Inventory console
One inventory for every brand
All recipes draw from the same stock items and prices, so a change to the chicken price updates every menu at once.
Feature: Auto reorder list
Reorder lists that write themselves
Par levels and counts produce an automatic reorder list with buy links — no more end-of-day guessing.
Feature: AKROUN AI Chef
Iterate menus with the AI Chef
Draft new dishes in minutes with complete method and nutrition, review, then cost them against stock before they go live.

Questions cloud kitchens ask
Can I model different commission rates per brand?
Operating costs are set per account today; use the highest commission as the % cost for a conservative net margin, or separate accounts per brand.
Does it connect to delivery platforms?
Not yet. It costs and organises the kitchen side; platform integrations are on the roadmap.
How fast can I cost a new dish?
Once your stock items have prices, a new recipe is costed the moment you save it.
Can I start without an account?
Yes: use the free food-cost and plate-cost calculators, or the guest AI Chef for one recipe.
