DulceCosto

DulceCosto calculates the cost of a dessert and whether the selling price is profitable.

It's designed for bakeries, pastry shops, and businesses that sell cakes, sweets, or individual portions and want to set prices with clear figures, without having to redo a spreadsheet every time.

What you can do:

Record each ingredient with the price you paid, the quantity purchased, and its unit: grams, kilos, milliliters, liters, units, dozens, or centimeters. DulceCosto converts that purchase to the cost per unit. One kilo, for example, becomes the cost per gram.

Create the recipe with its name and the quantity of each ingredient you use. You can choose a unit compatible with the purchase unit. The summary separates the cost of the ingredients, production waste, and the final cost.

In the price field, enter what you charge for that recipe. If applicable, activate the VAT and define its percentage. You can also activate the delivery commission, such as those offered by Rappi or PedidosYa. The app displays net profit, the actual margin on the selling price, and the break-even point: the minimum price to avoid losses.

The working currency can be the Peruvian sol or another currency in the region, including the US dollar.

How the cost is calculated

The cost of ingredients is the sum of what the recipe uses. Waste is a percentage of that cost. If you activate VAT, it is added to the cost. If you activate delivery, the commission is calculated on the selling price. Profit is the selling price minus the total cost. The margin is that profit divided by the selling price.

Version 1.0

The calculations are done on your device. You don't need to create an account. In this version, the ingredients, recipe, and price are used during the work session.

DulceCosto does not replace the advice of an accountant. It is used to see the cost and margin before selling.
