Built with industry experience

We've worked the line. We get it.

Freecost wasn't built by a software company trying to "disrupt" restaurants. It was built by someone who's stood in a walk-in at 6am, run food cost reports at midnight, and knows that the last thing you need is another complicated system.

We built this because we needed it. We made it free because we believe every kitchen—not just the ones with corporate budgets—deserves to know their numbers.

Your data is yours. Export anytime. No lock-in. No gotchas.
