Same features as the "big" tools. A fraction of the cost.
MarketMan, MarginEdge, and xtraCHEF all charge $240–500/month per location for food cost tracking, supplier POs, and waste logs. Larder gives you the same — plus AI invoice OCR, recipe import, and card-payment tracking — for a small fraction of that.
Pilot pricing is set per-conversation while we calibrate. Public tiers go live later this year.

What the other guys charge
Pricing publicly listed on each vendor's site or quoted by their sales teams. Numbers change; the gap doesn't.
Questions you probably have
We're in pilot. Every conversation right now tells us how to set the public number — what's the lowest you'll pay for this feature set, what's the most we can charge before you walk. Hand-us-a-quote-per-conversation will end in a few months once we have enough data. We'll grandfather pilot pricing for early customers.
Any physical place where food is stored, prepped, or served. A central kitchen counts as one. A satellite restaurant counts as one. A food truck counts as one.
No. Add your whole kitchen, your accountant, your managers — all at the same price.
Invoice + recipe OCR uses Claude on a per-scan basis (~$0.02–0.05 per document). You bring your own Anthropic API key and pay them directly. For a busy 4-location restaurant, that's about $10–20/month on top of the Larder fee.
Yes — CSV import is built in for items, recipes, sales, counts, and POs. Most operators migrate in an afternoon. Stuck? We'll help with the conversion.
No. Larder works fully standalone — record sales manually (2-minute end-of-day form) or paste a Z-report CSV. POS integration is on the roadmap; not required.
Yes. Hosted on Vercel (US/Canada edge), database on Neon Postgres (encrypted at rest + in transit). Daily backups with 7-day point-in-time restore. You own your data and can export it any time as CSV.
Edmonton, Alberta. The product was built by an accountant for a real restaurant client and grown from there.
