Recipe Cost Calculator for Home Chefs
Why This is an Opportunity
The primary issue in the current workflow is the manual calculation of ingredient costs and the absence of integration with up-to-date grocery pricing. This proposed solution offers a user-friendly recipe cost calculator that leverages a simple ingredients database to provide cost estimates, thereby reducing the need for manual entry.
Key Pain Points
- •Manually summing ingredient costs from receipts is time-consuming.
- •Spreadsheets are cumbersome and do not offer real-time pricing updates.
- •There is no automated way to calculate costs based on varying ingredient quantities.
- •Users must cross-reference multiple websites to gather price data.
Original Discovery
Home cooks often struggle with calculating the total cost of a recipe due to the need for manual entry and the lack of specific ingredient pricing insights. A dedicated web app could streamline this process by allowing users to input ingredients and quantities, automatically calculating the total cost based on average market prices.
