meez
The recipe operating system for restaurant groups: costing, training, and AI menu analysis.
About
meez is a recipe management and food costing platform built for restaurant groups running 5 to 100+ locations. It turns recipes into structured data: an AI importer captures recipes from Google Docs, PDFs, or even handwritten notes with built-in yields and unit conversions, and the system keeps every recipe costed in real time by syncing vendor invoice prices. A 3,000+ ingredient database, sub-recipe rollups, and instant portion/pricing scenario testing sit alongside a training library of photos, videos, and step-by-step instructions that pushes updates to every kitchen at once.
meez Intelligence, its AI-powered menu analysis layer, spots issues in recipe data, ranks profit opportunities, and builds custom metrics. Allergen tagging, nutrition labels, and disclosures update automatically when recipes change, which matters for laws like California's SB-68 allergen disclosure rule taking effect July 2026. Published pricing runs $19/month for individual chefs, $89 and $179/month tiers for kitchen teams, and custom enterprise plans with $60-$199/location add-ons. meez says operators report 15-25% food cost reductions; those figures are vendor-reported. The product, pricing, and integrations with Restaurant365 and Toast are documented on its own site.
