Question 1

What is MakrPrep?

Accepted Answer

MakrPrep is a production planner for small food businesses that prepare ahead of orders: micro-bakeries, market traders, batch cooks, caterers, cottage kitchens, and makers of sauces, preserves and snacks. It costs your recipes down to the ingredient, prices them per customer tier, takes orders, and turns those orders into one production plan and one shopping list.

Question 2

Who is MakrPrep for?

Accepted Answer

Anyone who makes food to sell and preps it ahead of when a customer collects or receives it, rather than cooking live to order. Bakers, market traders, batch cooks, small caterers, and people making sauces, preserves, snacks and sandwiches are the main fit.

Question 3

How does the free trial work?

Accepted Answer

14 days free, no card required. You get full access during the trial, and can cancel anytime.

Question 4

How much does MakrPrep cost?

Accepted Answer

£19.99 per month, or £199.90 per year (two months free), or the equivalent in your local currency (the pricing page shows yours). Cancel any time. One plan with every feature, no tiers, no per-user add-ons. Your annual price never goes up for as long as you renew annually.

Question 5

Can I get my money back?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On the monthly plan, your first paid month comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. On the annual plan, you can ask for a full refund within 30 days of paying. Refunds are handled through Paddle, who take our payments.

Question 6

Can you help me get set up?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Send us your spreadsheet and we'll set it up. Email it to hello@makrprep.com and John will load your first recipes for you.

Question 7

How does recipe costing work?

Accepted Answer

You enter your ingredients with pack cost and size. MakrPrep costs every recipe automatically, including sub-recipes (components), and updates your true cost and margin whenever a supplier price changes.

Question 8

Can I track allergens?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Allergens are tracked per ingredient from a fixed list of the 14 recognised allergens, and automatically roll up through components into any recipe that uses them.

Question 9

Does MakrPrep create my shopping list automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Based on your orders and current stock, MakrPrep generates a shopping list that only shows genuine shortfalls, in both raw quantity and whole packs to buy.

Question 10

Can I import my existing ingredients and recipes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, via CSV/XLSX bulk upload.

Question 11

Does MakrPrep work on mobile?

Accepted Answer

The core planning screens (Plan, Orders, Shopping list) are mobile-responsive. Full recipe and pricing management is designed for laptop or tablet.

Question 12

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. MakrPrep is built on Supabase, with row-level security on all data, and payments are handled by Paddle, so MakrPrep never sees your card details.

Question 13

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes, self-service through the billing portal in Settings. Your data is kept, never deleted, if you cancel.
