Menu Item Costing by Hand
Recipes and plate costs live in spreadsheets. Vendor prices change — your menu item costs don’t keep up.

The back-of-house work that eats the office day.
Costing, stock, invoices, files — and routines so the day already knows what comes next.
Invoice Busywork
Vendor prices arrive on paper and screenshots. Re-typing every line into item costs burns the office day.
Inventory Guesswork
Counts and waste notes scatter across clipboards and chats — never quite matching what the kitchen is using.
No Clear Daily Playbook
Every shift starts with “what do we need to do today?” — instead of a shared routine that already knows.
Core Modules + Routines
Use modules one at a time — or let a workflow run the day.
Every module works on its own. Workflows string them into daily, weekly, and monthly routines your team can share — so nobody has to invent the checklist from memory.
Food Costing
Built around menu items & recipes
Cost individual dishes and recipes — ingredients, yields, and plate cost — so back-of-house knows what each item actually costs when vendor prices move. Not a sales or profit dashboard.
Inventory Management
Stock & waste for the back of house
Track what you have on hand, what you waste, and what needs ordering — office and kitchen work, not front-of-house sales reporting.
Custom Workflows
Stop deciding what to do. Just run the routine.
41 Degrees is module-based: open Food Costing, Inventory, Documents, and the rest on their own whenever you need them — or string those modules into a daily, weekly, or monthly workflow. Once the routine is set, you and your team follow it instead of inventing the day from scratch. Share workflows across team members so every location runs the same playbook.
- Run any module manually when you need a one-off task
- Or bundle modules into daily, weekly, and monthly workflows
- Share with the team — no more “what are we doing today?”
Invoicing
Built for wholesale flow
When you’re moving product at wholesale scale, snap an invoice or paste a vendor price screenshot. AI reads it so ingredient and item costs update without re-typing every line.
Logistics
Supply movement between sites
Coordinate deliveries, transfers, and inbound supply across locations so product gets where it needs to go — separate from invoicing and costing.
Document Management
Store staff can upload from the floor
Invoices, price lists, and kitchen docs uploaded by your team from desktop or phone. AI-assisted reading pulls numbers into item costing — real operator office work, not buried in email.
Why we built this
Margins are tighter. Software bills aren't.
Food businesses already stretch every dollar — then pay for tools that don't help the work after service. We built 41 Degrees to make costing, inventory, and routines easier to run, so operations stay practical and more profitable.

I started 41 Degrees to take the friction out of back-of-house office work — the costing, inventory, routines, and documents that sit beside cooking, not instead of it. My background spans engineering and running kitchens focused on Japanese and French cuisine. Built in Burlingame for operators who want the business side to run cleaner.
