Finance for private chefs
Know your yield on every job
Yield is the invoicing and costing app private chefs were missing. Cost a menu, send a quote, auto-generate deposit and balance invoices, and chase payment automatically — so you know what you're earning before you cook.
Set up your first menu in under 2 minutes. No credit card required.
From first enquiry to final payment — handled
The full financial workflow for private chefs: costing, quoting, invoicing, and real-time profit tracking on every job.
Menu costing & profit analysis
Add ingredients with quantities and prices, set your labour hours and mileage, and Yield calculates your food cost percentage, effective hourly rate, and profit margin in real time. A circular gauge shows your efficiency vs your target rate at a glance.
- Food cost % with wastage buffer
- Labour cost & effective hourly rate
- HMRC mileage at £0.45/mile
- ✨ Scan Receipt — auto-import ingredients
- Load dishes from your Carte menu library
Quotes, extras & client portal
Build a quote from your costing in one tap. Add staffing, equipment hire, travel, and gratuity as line-item extras. Send it to the client with a professional email — they get a branded portal page showing the full breakdown, deposit amount, and your payment instructions.
- Quote builder with VAT support
- Extras: staffing, equipment, travel, gratuity
- Client-facing payment portal (/pay)
- Quote lifecycle: Draft → Sent → Accepted
- Auto-sync accepted quotes to Carte calendar
Invoices, payments & reminders
When a quote is accepted, Yield auto-creates a deposit invoice and a balance invoice — numbered sequentially with your prefix. Record payments against them, and Yield automatically sends payment reminders at 7, 3, and 0 days before the due date. When the tab closes, you get a gold toast.
- Auto-generated deposit & balance invoices
- Sequential invoice numbers (INV-001 format)
- PDF invoices with your logo & bank details
- Automated payment reminders via email
- 5-step tab timeline per job
