Most meal prep businesses are losing money on every meal and don't know it. The Prep Calculator shows you exactly where your money goes — and what it takes to actually profit.
Free plan available. No credit card required.
The problem
You know your weekly spend. You know your revenue. But do you actually know your margin per meal — after ingredients, packaging, delivery, staff, and overheads? Most operators don't. That's why so many grow themselves into a loss.

What's included
Enter your real costs — ingredients, packaging, delivery, labour, overheads — and see your true margin per meal, break-even volume, and the price you actually need to charge to be profitable.
Run two business models side by side. Compare your current structure against a revised pricing or cost model. See which one wins — and by exactly how much — before you commit to anything.
Log your actual numbers each week and track profit and loss over time. See your best week, your average margin, and whether your business is trending up or down — with a visual chart that makes it obvious.
Set your target weekly income and work backwards. The planner tells you exactly how many meals you need to sell, what price you need to charge, and gives you four concrete paths to get there.
Pricing
Less than a single delivery fee. Costs you nothing to try.
