Could you build this?
Partial Recipe costing and menu engineering are vibe-codeable, but keeping ingredient prices current needs supplier price feeds or invoice data that a solo builder cannot easily obtain.
What it would actually take: The core is a recipe and menu database with costing formulas and margin reports, which is standard web app work. The hard part is automated ingredient price updates, which requires integrations with food distributors' catalogs or invoice OCR and parsing at scale. Building that well means partnerships or data-access agreements with suppliers, plus data-cleaning work for unit conversions and product matching.
