Running a Karinderya is Tough
You're up before dawn preparing.
You serve hundreds of customers. You manage suppliers, staff, and inventory.
You work long hours, 7 days a week.
But at the end of the month... malaki ba talaga ang kita?
Or parang break-even lang lagi?
Kung hindi mo alam ang exact cost per serving, hindi mo malalaman kung profitable ka talaga.
The Karinderya Profit Problem
Multiple Dishes, Complex Costs: You serve 20+ different dishes, each with different ingredients, portions, and costs. Tracking all manually? Impossible.
Fluctuating Ingredient Prices: Pork prices up this week. Vegetables cheaper at palengke. Your costs change constantly. Your prices don't.
Portion Control: How much rice per serving? How much ulam per plate? Inconsistent portions = inconsistent profits.
iCost for Karinderya: Know Your Real Numbers
See exactly how much you earn on every dish you serve.
Per-Serving Costing
Know exactly how much each serving costs: Adobo: P32 cost → Sell at P60 → P28 profit. No more guessing!
Menu Profitability
See which dishes make money and which don't. Promote high-profit items, fix or remove loss makers.
Ingredient Price Updates
Pork price went up? Update once and ALL recipes using pork recalculate automatically.
Inventory for High-Volume
Track ingredients for busy kitchens: daily stock checks, usage tracking, restock alerts.
Daily Profit Tracking
Know your profit at the end of each day, not just at the end of the month.
Supplier Comparison
Track prices from different suppliers. Know who gives the best deals.

What Karinderya Owners Say
“May karinderya ako for 10 years. First time ko malaman kung magkano talaga kinikita ko per dish. Eye-opener! Some dishes pala halos walang profit. Na-adjust ko na.”
