Your food cost, worked out between two services

Service is over, and there is still the menu to redo, the party of twenty-two asking about Saturday, and the food cost nobody has revisited since the last price rise. Roona highlights in the sheet the dishes whose cost is drifting, writes the recipe sheet in your own template, leaves the reply to the group ready in your drafts, and the Studio makes the photo taken at the pass look sharp. The menu, the prices and what leaves the kitchen stay yours.

The tools that matter to a restaurant

Between two services, there is still the menu to redo, the party of twenty-two asking about Saturday, the photo of today’s special that came out too dark, the food cost nobody has recalculated since the last price rise. Roona takes that share of the work in Excel, Word and Outlook, from your recipe sheets and your group rates uploaded once, citing the document each line comes from. The Studio handles the image: the dish shot on a phone that comes out appetising, the poster for the evening ready for the printer. The menu, the prices and what leaves the kitchen stay yours.

The food cost that has moved

The gaps calculated and highlighted in the sheet, with the chart. The menu price stays your decision.

Saturday’s group booking

The proposal ready in your drafts, with your own deposit terms. Nothing goes out without you.

Today’s special, appetising

The corrected photo and the post in your colours, ready before service. You choose what you publish.

How it works

  1. Open the Roona pane in Excel, Word or Outlook, or drop a dish photo into the Studio.
  2. Roona reads the selection, the file or the photo, then calculates, writes or composes, drawing on the recipe sheets and group rates stored in your company memory, and citing the document each line comes from.
  3. You read it back, you correct a weight or a formula, you ask for another version.
  4. You approve, you insert it in the sheet or the document, you export the visual, or you send from Outlook. Whatever comes back every week, you set up once, and it runs.

Frequently asked questions

Which AI suits a restaurant with no photographer and no office staff?

An assistant that returns a finished file between two services: the food cost highlighted in Excel, the recipe sheet in your own Word template, the reply to the group in your Outlook drafts, and a Studio that makes the dish look appetising from a phone photo.

Does Roona calculate my food cost?

Yes, from what you upload: recipe sheets, weights, order forms. Roona writes the rows and the formulas in your sheet, compares plan with actual and highlights the dishes that are drifting. The selling price stays your decision.

Does Roona lay out my menu?

Yes. You give the dishes and the prices, Roona composes the menu in your colours and the export comes out as a PDF, ready for the printer. A dish changes? You edit the line, the layout stays put. The text on a visual can also be translated in place, same font and same layout.

Are the dish photos retouched or invented?

Both exist, and the difference matters. Correcting light and sharpness starts from your own plate. When you ask for a styled shot, what comes back is a styled shot: it is never passed off as a photo of the plate as served.

Does Roona answer group enquiries and bookings?

Roona prepares, you send. In Outlook, the message on screen is read, the reply is written in your tone and uses your set menus, your group rates and your deposit terms if you have uploaded them. No message goes out without your click.

And replies to online reviews?

Roona writes a courteous, precise draft that you read back and paste on the platform yourself. Roona connects to no review platform and publishes nothing on your behalf.

Does Roona make information up?

No. Roona works from your documents and cites the source, document and page, so you can check. Allergens in particular are taken from your own sheets and are still for the chef to confirm before they are displayed.

Does Roona connect to my till?

No. Roona reads what you upload and returns finished files: the food cost in your Excel, the sheet in your Word, the visual exported, the draft in Outlook. Your till and your booking software stay where they are.

Do my recipe sheets and my figures stay confidential?

Yes. Encrypted in your browser, hosted in Europe, kept apart by workspace, never used to train a model. The account can be erased, GDPR and the European AI regulation respected.

Can my team use it?

Yes. Your company memory is organised in workspaces, one per site if you run several, with separate rights. The Enterprise plan, on request, priced per seat, adds the accounts, shared credits, roles and an audit log.

How much does it cost?

20 € excluding VAT per month and per account, no commitment: the assistant, the document memory, the file generators, the Office add-ins and the Studio, 100 credits a month. A 14-day trial with no bank card.
