The short version
For over a decade, Recipe Costing Software did one thing extremely well: it told operators what their food actually cost. Customers kept asking the same follow-up question. If you already know what every plate costs, why am I still running a separate POS, a separate inventory app, a separate ordering system and a bookkeeper who types the same invoices in again?
Culvana is the answer to that question. It is the same costing engine our customers have relied on for years, with the point of sale, inventory, purchasing, books and payments built around it, and AI doing the data entry that used to eat somebody's evening.
What did not change
- The company. Same ownership, same team, same people you already call.
- Your login. Existing customers sign in exactly where they always have.
- Your data. Recipes, sub-recipes, vendors and history are untouched.
- Recipe costing itself. Yields, labor, allergens and scaling all still there.
- Support. Same humans, same number: 305-982-7075.
What is new in Culvana
- AI reads your invoices, so nobody types them in.
- Point of sale included, no terminal to buy.
- Real-time inventory that depletes on every sale.
- Purchasing and par-level ordering.
- The books, so food cost and P&L live in one system.
- Payments at 2.5% + $0.10 a transaction if you want them.
If you are an existing Recipe Costing customer
Keep working. Nothing is being taken away from you and there is no deadline hanging over your head. Sign in at the Recipe Costing login the way you always have. When you are ready to see what the full platform does, call us and we will walk you through it with your own recipes on the screen. When you decide to move, we move your data for you. You will not rebuild anything.
If you are a partner, distributor or vendor
Your contacts, contracts and integrations are with the same company they have always been with. Kitchen Porter Tech LLC still stands behind both products. Recipe Costing Software continues to run for the customers on it, and Culvana is where new work goes. If you have an integration pointed at the old platform, it keeps working, and we will coordinate directly with your team before anything about it changes.
Why the new name
"Recipe Costing Software" described exactly one feature. It was honest and it served us well, and it is also the reason people were surprised to learn we did inventory, ordering and POS too. A name that describes a single report makes a platform look like a calculator. Culvana is culinary nirvana for your operation, and it leaves room for everything the product actually does now.
Common questions
Was Recipe Costing Software acquired?
No. This was not a sale, a merger or a takeover. Same company, same owners, new name and a much bigger product.
Does my login still work?
Yes. Sign in here, same credentials as always.
Is recipe costing going away?
No, it is the core of Culvana. Everything it did, it still does, and now the costs update themselves as invoices land.
Do I have to switch, and does my price change?
You do not have to switch. If and when you move to Culvana, the platform is $199 per location per month with 2,000 AI credits included, or you can run your own numbers against what you pay today before deciding anything.
What happened to recipe-costing.com?
It points here. Ten years of articles and guides came with it, including the yield guide people still search for every week.
