Recommended price = total cost ÷ (1 − target margin). Food-cost % is food cost as a share of the recommended price — most caterers target roughly 28–35%; outside that range the badge flags it. All figures stay in this browser (nothing is sent anywhere) unless you save a ticket, which is stored locally on this device too.
