Strategic technology integration connects recipe management and procurement workflows, so chefs can make smarter purchasing decisions in real time.
DURHAM, N.C. – June 2, 2026 – Folio, the financial operations and procurement platform purpose-built built for hospitality operators, today announced a new partnership with meez, the recipe and kitchen operating system for professional chefs. Together, the companies are helping culinary teams better understand food costs, manage margins, and streamline purchasing decisions through a connected workflow.
Through the new partnership integration, chefs and hospitality professionals can now plan recipes, manage products, track margins, and place orders, all in one easy-to-use interface. The partnership gives operators more visibility into profitability at both the recipe and ingredient level, while reducing the manual work that is often required to connect culinary and purchasing data.
“As food costs continue to fluctuate, hotel and hospitality F&B operators need better tools to understand how purchasing decisions impact profitability,” said Kate Adamson, CEO and co-founder of Folio. “Our new partnership with meez is intended to help chefs and F&B leaders within hotel properties connect procurement with recipe intelligence, so they can make faster, more informed decisions, while maintaining quality and controlling costs.”
Some key benefits of the integration include:
- Recipe-Level Cost Visibility: The F&B management team can see food costs at both the recipe and ingredient level, making it easier to identify high-performing menu items and dishes that may be hurting margins.
- Real-Time Margin Tracking: As supplier pricing changes, operators can quickly see how ingredient costs affect recipe profitability and overall menu performance.
- Smarter Ordering Workflows: Teams can meal plan, evaluate ingredient options, and place procurement orders within the same workflow, helping reduce duplicate work and improve purchasing efficiency.
The new partnership comes at a time when hospitality operators are under increasing pressure to manage rising food costs while maintaining consistency and guest experience. By combining meez’s recipe management platform with Folio’s procurement capabilities, the integration gives chefs and operators a clearer view into the financial impact of everyday kitchen decisions.
“We’re excited to partner with Folio to bring greater financial visibility into the kitchen,” said Josh Sharkey, CEO of meez. “Chefs should not have to rely on disconnected systems or spreadsheets to understand profitability. Together, we’re creating a more seamless experience that helps teams make smarter operational decisions every day.”
The Folio and meez integration will be available to mutual customers beginning later this summer. For more information, please visit folio.co and or getmeez.com.
