Koust
Food-cost, inventory and recipe management for restaurants
Koust is a French SaaS for restaurant purchasing, stock control, recipe costing, invoice scanning and margin analysis, with optional HACCP traceability and inter-site transfers. It connects to POS systems to compare theoretical and actual consumption. Plans scale from a single restaurant to groups with stock transfers and an API.
Our reading. Best for French-speaking independent restaurants that want food-cost, stock and HACCP tracking with published pricing and a trial rather than a sales cycle.
