From zero to your first loss number
It really is this short. Each step takes a few minutes — no special hardware.
Create your account
Two minutes, no card, no POS integration. You’ll see a sample loss number before you’ve entered a thing.
- Sign up with just an email — name your kitchen and you’re in
- Answer two quick questions about one item to see your first number
- Invite your chef and prep cooks — everyone logs from their own phone
Set your yield norms
Tell MiseKit the usable yield you expect from each item. That target is what every weighing gets measured against.
- Enter a target yield per item — beef short rib at 72%, say
- Add a tolerance so normal variation doesn’t get flagged
- Not sure of a number? Let the AI suggest a starting point
Add items & costs
Enter what each ingredient costs you. That’s what turns a few lost grams into a number in pounds.
- List the items you butcher or prep, with cost per kg
- Update a price once and every future loss reprices itself
- Start with your five priciest items — add the rest later
Log a weighing
Raw in, usable out. Type it in seconds on any phone — or photograph a paper prep sheet and let AI read it.
- Record raw weight in and usable weight out for a batch
- Snap a prep sheet and MiseKit turns the photo into clean entries
- Log write-offs too — spoilage and binned product, with a reason
Read your weekly loss
Every Monday: one number for what leaked this week, split by variance and write-offs, ranked down to the item.
- See the headline loss with an 8-week trend at a glance
- Drill into where it’s leaking — by item, station or reason
- Read a plain-language AI insight and export the report
Why start tracking now
Most kitchens only notice loss at month-end — when food cost lands at 38% instead of 30% and nobody can say where it went. Catch it the day it happens and a bad cut is a five-minute conversation, not a write-off you find in March.
MiseKit is built to set up yourself in one sitting — no three-month rollout. Set a norm, weigh a batch, and the number is honest from the first entry. Every week it tells you exactly where the money went.
