Every plate costed.
Every price spike caught.
Your suppliers already email you their invoices. Forkly reads them for you, updates the cost of every recipe and menu item that uses what changed, and warns you the moment a price jump starts eating into your margin. No retyping, no spreadsheets, no surprises at month end.
- Invoices
- Read for you
- Recipes
- Recosted
- Price spikes
- Flagged
Your costs change every week. Your spreadsheet doesn't.
Someone on your team keys invoice lines into a sheet, or nobody does and the numbers go stale.
A supplier adds a few cents a case, three weeks in a row. The menu price stays put and the margin quietly shrinks.
Menu pricing, specials and portion sizes get decided on costs that were true last quarter.
From supplier invoice to updated margin, without lifting a pen.

Invoices arrive by themselves
Your kitchen gets its own invoice address. Point your suppliers at it, or forward what already lands in your inbox. Forkly checks for new mail on a schedule, and you can check on demand too.

Every line is read for you
Each supplier gets a reader tuned to its own invoice layout, and we bring in AI where it earns its place, such as reading a scan or a photo of a delivery slip. Item, pack size, quantity and price come out clean, and credit notes are handled too.

You approve, Forkly recosts
You see what changed before anything is applied. Once you confirm, every ingredient, recipe, sub-recipe and menu item that uses it is recosted, and the new margin is on your screen.
One system for what you buy, what you cook and what you sell.
Every cost is linked from the supplier's pack price all the way to the plate, so a change in one place shows up everywhere it matters.
Invoice Inbox
Supplier invoices are collected, read and matched to the items you buy. Nothing changes until you say so, and every invoice stays on file next to the prices it set.
- Dedicated address for your kitchen
- PDFs, scans and email invoices, with AI reading where it is needed
- Review price changes before they apply
- Full history of every invoice processed
Recipe Builder
Build dishes from ingredients, sub-recipes, packaging and labor. Units convert on their own, including weight to volume per ingredient, and costs stay current without you touching them.
- Sub-recipes with nested costs
- Several yields and portion sizes per recipe
- Labor costed from prep and cook time
- Printable recipe cards for the line
Supplies & Ingredients
What you buy (a 10 lb case from one supplier, a 5 kg bag from another) is linked to what your recipes use. Change suppliers and your recipes follow, with the cost per gram, ounce or each worked out for you.
- Many supplier items behind one ingredient
- Cost per standard unit, always comparable
- Containers and packaging costed like food
- Deleted items can be restored from trash
See the spike before it shows up in your P&L.
Margin Watch follows every cost from the supplier's price down to the plate and tells you which menu items lost margin, by how much, and which purchase caused it. It compares over a time window instead of invoice to invoice, so three small increases in a month show up as the one real increase they add up to.
- Warnings when a dish drops below your margin floor
- Price changes ranked by the damage they do, not by size alone
- Items with a missing or unknown cost flagged, never counted as free
- A dated record of every price, so you can see the trend for any item
- Halibut fillet (kg) $36.20 $41.00 +13.3%
- Cold-pressed sesame oil (1L) $11.80 $13.10 +11.0%
- Black mission figs (case) $42.00 $37.50 −10.7%
- Cultured butter (lb) $5.40 $5.95 +10.2%
- Pearled farro (5 kg) $18.90 $17.60 −6.9%
