Fillet for Chefs: Cost recipes

I have been trying to use excel to track all the local prices of ingredients and assemble them into recipes that meet a specific budget, but it's difficult since I had to do everything (converting, calculating, etc.) by hand. I like math but sheesh, I also want some time to actually feed my family! Although this app isn't meant for this, I find it so helpful in streamlining recipes into cost per serving based on which grocer I choose, and I'm grateful the free version lets you do this on the phone. Would you consider a lower price tier for non commercial users that is sync only? I don't need any commercial features but I would like to type on my computer instead of phone. Just a thought!

I had to contact the support team because it would not use the currency for my region, even though it is on their list. The problem seems to be in the fact that they don’t know the monetary system. The system I use doesn’t haven’t dollars and cents. Only solution is to set region to a country like japan.. which the. Makes the whole iPad system off time. Still looking for a reasonable solution because the app looks promising.

I purchased this app to try and facilitate the management of my Food Truck and Catering business after reviewing the on line reviews and their web site. I was gravely disappointed upon trying to actually use the app. In my opinion, it is not worth what I paid for it (free). First, when trying to import recipes from an existing tool - There is no documentation for this process. I have e-mailed the developer through their support desk several times with no response. Without this functionality, I have to have an employee sit and manually enter every recipe. There is a share feature that also pops-up in iOS to somehow add things to Fillet with no documentation or apparent functionality. Second, It clearly indicates above that the USDA database is available in the app off line. Whether on line or off - the database is nowhere to be seen. For me, this completely negates any possible value from the app. Part of what I wanted from the app was the nutritional analysis. If I have to enter the nutritional data (never mind the densities) for every possible ingredient I use - this just doubles or triples my workload. At the end of the day, this App looks like a basic framework put together by someone with a good idea. It’s just poorly executed and feels like a playground project thats not completed. For now, I will just delete it. Summary: 1. Missing data clearly advertised in its write up 2. Non-functioning data imports and share functionality 3. non-responsive support 4. labor intensive - will cost me more in migration than its limited functionality is worth
