Effortlessly accounting for artisans

Artisans who make food by hand often run their business in spreadsheets — recipes, ingredient costs, and margins scattered across tabs that were never meant to hold a product catalog.

Nougat is product and accounting software built for that reality: one place to define a recipe, see unit economics, and understand what each batch actually costs to make.

The Problem
  1. Recipe costing lives in spreadsheets with no connection to how products are sold
  2. Ingredient lists and pricing change often, but updates are manual and error-prone
  3. Artisans need clarity on margin per unit, not enterprise accounting complexity
The Approach
  1. Start from the product — recipe, ingredients, and yield — not the ledger
  2. Surface unit economics upfront: cost, price, and margin per unit
  3. Keep the interface calm enough for someone who'd rather be in the kitchen than in software
The Outcome

A focused workflow for defining products, tracking ingredients, and seeing margin at a glance — built for artisans who need accounting to feel effortless, not obligatory.
