Outdated recipe costs
Your suppliers' prices change every week; your menu doesn't. Without living recipe costs, any dish may be selling below its real cost.

Your restaurant, with clear numbers
Purchasing, inventory, sales, expenses, documents and staff connected by venue. Start with 7 days free, no card.
A restaurant day moves across staff, purchasing, inventory, service, documents and close. Hostelella brings those operations together so each task leaves the next one ready and every person works with the access they need.
Start with the app in one venue and add other businesses to the same account. Depending on the plan, Ella helps with documents, schedules and questions about authorised data; you retain review of sensitive actions.
Plans start at €9.99 + VAT per venue/month and the first trial activates Ella Pro for 7 days with no card. If you want to delegate part of management, Ella Director adds a professional service with a tailored scope.
Restaurants
The three holes your margin leaks through
Invoices out of control
Delivery notes and invoices pile up in a drawer. By the time they reach your accountant it's too late to react: the month is closed and the margin is gone.
Last-minute staffing
Shifts in a WhatsApp group, unrecorded swaps and overtime nobody counts. The floor works, but nobody knows what it costs.

Frequently asked questions
Questions from restaurateurs
Does it work for a small restaurant or only for groups?
Both. App plans start at €9.99 + VAT per venue/month and the management service adapts to the size of the business. Many clients start with one venue and add the next ones to the same account.
How do you control recipe costs and menu costs?
We automatically read your actual invoice purchases and compare them with your menu, detect supplier price increases and propose adjustments. With the management service, recipe-cost reviews are part of the monthly routine.
Do I have to change my POS or my accountant?
No. Hostelella coexists with your POS and your accountant: we record sales and expenses, and your accountant receives tidy documentation. No forced migrations.
How long until it's up and running?
Onboarding is guided: create the account, configure the venue and invite the team. Timing depends on the data and processes you want to include, and you can start with one area.
