You price from a feeling. Ingredients, plus a little on top. But the gas, the packaging, and the hours you stand at that pot? You give them away free on every plate. One of my clients thought she made ₦1,500 a plate. She was making ₦200. This is probably happening in your kitchen right now.
Get ProfitMastr →ProfitMastr is the ultimate tool for foodpreneurs. The one place to run your whole food business and structure it properly, without the stress.
Read these slowly. Most owners find themselves in five or six of them. None of it is bad business. It is just money slipping out where you cannot see it.
You set prices by what others charge or what feels right, not by what the plate actually costs you. So you cannot tell which dishes carry the business and which quietly drain it.
Ingredients plus a little on top. But the hours at the pot, the gas, the packaging, the wear on your cooker go uncounted. You give them away free on every plate.
Tomatoes tripled. Oil went up. Rice followed. Your selling price did not move, so the market quietly took your profit and you did not feel it.
The dish everyone orders could be the one losing you the most. Without the numbers, you push the plate that drains you and hide the one that pays.
Sales look good, but by month end there is nothing left. It all went back into the next market run, and you still cannot say if you made a profit.
How many plates must you sell this month just to cover rent, gas, salaries and yourself? If you cannot say the number, you are guessing every single day.
Food finishes the day unsold and goes to the bin, or to "staff food." It is money leaving the business, but it is never counted, so it keeps happening.
A customer asks for a party of 200 and you guess a price on the phone. Sometimes you win the job and still lose money, because the quote was never properly costed.
The measures, the prices, the way each dish is made, all in your memory. You cannot rest, cannot travel, cannot train anyone. The day you are tired, everything slows down.
More orders, more stress, longer days. But the money in your hand looks the same as last year. Working harder is not the same as making more.
Put in one dish you sell right now, then count the costs you usually forget. Watch what happens to your profit.
Take one plate you sell. Enter your numbers, then count the costs most people forget.
Mrs. Abosede sold a plate of food for ₦4,500. When I asked what it cost her to make, she said, "About ₦3,000." So in her mind it was simple. ₦4,500 less ₦3,000 is ₦1,500 profit. Fair enough.
So I said, okay, let us put it into ProfitMastr and see what is really happening. We entered the ingredients. Then the gas. The packaging. The labour. The overheads. And do you know what her real cost was? ₦4,300.
That ₦1,500 she thought she was making was only ₦200. On 1,000 plates, that is ₦200,000 for a whole month of work. That was the moment we both knew something had to change.
So we used ProfitMastr to properly cost and price her meals around her real goals, including how much she wanted to take home every month. Then she went back to selling. Same business. Same 1,000 plates.
The next month, when we sat down for her review, Mrs. Abosede had made over ₦1.5 million in profit. That is the difference between "I think I am making money" and actually knowing your numbers.
No spreadsheets. No bookkeeper. No tech skills. You open the app, and it goes to work on your money.
Not a promise. This is ProfitMastr running on a real kitchen's menu, with a value on every screen.
Every number you just saw comes from one method I built after 20 years in the kitchen. I call it PLATE. Here it is in plain language, no accounting words.
We take what a full pot costs and divide it by the plates it should really give you. That way waste cannot hide inside the cost of a plate.
We separate the costs that change with each plate, like food, gas and packaging, from the ones that stay the same, like rent and salaries. Nothing gets forgotten.
We spread your rent, light and salaries across your plates by how long each dish ties up your kitchen. A slow dish carries its true weight, not a guess.
Every dish shows what it makes after ingredients, and what it makes after everything. You never see one without the other, so nothing fools you.
We set your price from the profit you actually want, check how many plates cover your costs, then decide together: keep it, reprice it, or drop it.
Cost the plate, carry the kitchen, keep the profit.
Everything below comes with ProfitMastr. The first 50 owners get it at a founding price, either on your own or with me working beside you. I can only take 5 owners personally.
Both prices are for the first 50 owners only. Once the 50 are gone, both go up to full price.
Use ProfitMastr for 30 days. If you do not love it, or it does not show you money you were leaving on the table, I give you every naira back. You have nothing to lose here. Nothing, except the money you are already losing on every plate.
"Twenty years at the stove. Seven years in banking. Four years building software. I have read the spreadsheet, cooked the food, and written the code. ProfitMastr is the tool I wish I had for every one of those years in the kitchen."Lynda OjokojoFounder, Foodie Intelligence. Built for the business behind the kitchen.
Cost your food. See your real numbers. Price for the profit you actually want. Do it yourself with the app at ₦80,000, or let me work with you personally for 30 days at ₦100,000, the way I did with Mrs. Abosede. Both are founding prices for the first 50 owners, and I can only take 5 personally.
