Apicbase is a food management platform built for recipe standardization, procurement, and allergen tracking. Marty is what you add when you want to know which specific dollars recipe drift is costing you — and recover them before the damage compounds.
Apicbase is built for large-scale kitchen standardization across multi-concept and multi-unit operators. It covers recipe management, allergen tracking, procurement, nutritional analysis, menu engineering, and waste management.
The allergen and nutritional tracking are particularly valuable for operators with legal compliance requirements. Recipe versioning, cost calculation, and multi-location scaling tools make it a comprehensive food management solution.
Apicbase ensures the recipe standards are set and documented. It doesn't tell you if those standards are being followed — or how much it costs when they're not. Recipe says 6oz chicken. Tuesday prep portioned 6.4oz across 340 covers. That's a $211 food cost variance this week. Apicbase doesn't find that. Marty does.
The gap is the distance between "the recipe is correct" and "the recipe is being followed correctly — here's what it's costing you when it isn't, per location, per week, per prep station."
Marty runs that audit overnight and delivers the recovery opportunity to each GM's inbox by 6 AM.
