What you get back

Three things, in one email.

1

What your plates cost

As a range, with the portion we assumed written right next to it. Most menus don't list portions, so a single number would be a guess. A range you can check isn't.

2

Where you pay over wholesale, in dollars

Each invoice line against public USDA wholesale prices from the week you bought it. The good buys are flagged too, so you know which vendors to keep.

3

The one line worth your attention

Not a 40-page report. The single ingredient or plate where the money is.

Straight with you

What our numbers are, and aren't.

Our prices are public USDA wholesale for produce, chicken, eggs, beef and pork, each one dated. Your own invoice always beats our table.

We don't price seafood. It moves every week and the good indexes aren't public. We'll ask what you pay.

We don't cost prepped items like breaded tenders or fries from raw prices. We'll ask about those too.
