Restaurant food-costing maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the menu-engineering and cost-control numbers a kitchen runs on. The recipe endpoint totals a dish from its ingredient line costs (or quantities × unit prices), divides by the yield factor (1 − waste %) so trim and shrinkage raise the true cost, and splits it across the portions to a cost per plate — and against a menu price it returns the food-cost percentage and gross profit. The plate endpoint prices a dish both ways: give a menu price and get the food-cost percentage and markup factor, or give a target food-cost percentage and get the suggested menu price (a 30 % target is a 3.33× markup), plus gross profit, gross margin and, with a labour cost, the prime-cost percentage. The period endpoint turns inventory movement into the cost of goods sold — COGS = opening inventory + purchases − closing inventory — and the food or pour cost percentage against sales, the headline number on every P&L (28–35 % for food, 18–24 % for beverage). Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for restaurant-tech, POS, kitchen-management, catering and hospitality app developers, menu-engineering and recipe-costing tools, and culinary-school training. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 compute endpoints. This is food-cost and menu-pricing maths; for unit conversion use a cooking API and for generic margin maths a pricing API.

Catering & Party API
Catering and party-planning maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the how-much-do-I-buy numbers a host or caterer plans a headcount with. The food endpoint scales a menu to the guest count and appetite: the main protein at about half a pound of cooked meat per person (light 0.33, hearty 0.75), each side dish at roughly four ounces a head, six appetizer pieces each and one-and-a-half dinner rolls — so 50 guests at a standard dinner with three sides need 25 lb of meat, 300 appetizers and 75 rolls. The drinks endpoint sizes the bar: about one drink per guest per hour plus an extra in the first hour, split across beer, wine and cocktails, and converted into the real units you buy — beer by the case (24) and the half-keg (~165 servings), wine by the bottle (~5 glasses), spirits by the 750 ml bottle (~16 shots) — plus the ice (about 1.5 lb per guest) and water; a 50-guest, four-hour party comes to 250 drinks, 125 beers (0.76 of a keg), 15 bottles of wine and 75 lb of ice. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for event-planning, catering, hospitality and party app developers, shopping-list and headcount tools, and host calculators. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. US units; rules of thumb — round up. Live, nothing stored. 2 compute endpoints. Adjust for the crowd and the season.

Grain Bin API
Grain-bin storage maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the bushel and weight numbers a farmer or elevator sizes storage by. The bushels endpoint measures a round bin: floor area × grain depth gives the cubic feet, and a cubic foot holds about 0.8036 bushels, so an 18-foot bin filled 20 feet level holds roughly 4,090 bushels — and grain heaped to a peak adds a cone of (1/3) × floor area × peak height, so a 4-foot peak adds about 270 more. The weight endpoint converts bushels to weight by the crop’s standard test weight — corn and sorghum at 56 pounds a bushel, wheat and soybeans 60, oats 32, barley 48 — so those 4,090 bushels of corn weigh 229,040 pounds, about 114.5 US tons or 104 tonnes; pass a measured test weight for light or heavy grain. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for agriculture, grain-elevator, farm-management and ag-tech app developers, storage-capacity and inventory tools, and harvest software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. US units (feet, bushels, pounds). Live, nothing stored. 2 compute endpoints.

ADA Ramp API
ADA wheelchair-ramp maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the run, landing and slope numbers a builder or accessibility planner sizes a ramp by. The rule the ADA fixes is 1 inch of rise per 12 of run, a maximum 8.33 % slope, so the ramp endpoint turns a rise into the ramp: run = rise × 12 (or × 16 / × 20 for a gentler grade if you have the room), plus the level landings the code requires — a 5-foot landing top and bottom and another between runs whenever the rise exceeds 30 inches — and the total length end to end, so a 24-inch rise needs a 24-foot run and 34 feet overall, while a 36-inch rise breaks into two runs with an intermediate landing for 51 feet. The fit endpoint answers the real-world question: does a ramp for this rise fit the run you have? It returns the minimum run an ADA 1:12 ramp needs, whether your space is enough, and the slope you would actually get if you forced it in — flagging when that exceeds 8.33 % and you need a switchback or a lower rise. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for construction, accessibility, home-modification and contractor app developers, ramp-estimator and code-check tools, and building software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Confirm against current ADA and local code. Live, nothing stored. 2 compute endpoints.

Farkle Score API
Farkle dice-scoring maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the points a Farkle (Zilch, Ten Thousand) scoring app tallies a roll by. The score endpoint takes up to six dice and returns the value by the common ruleset: a single 1 is 100 and a single 5 is 50; three of a kind scores the face times 100 (three 1s being the exception at 1000); four, five and six of a kind are 1000, 2000 and 3000; a 1-to-6 straight or three pairs is 1500; and two triplets is 2500 — so 1-1-1-5-5-5 scores 2500 as two triplets rather than 1100, a 1-2-3-4-5-6 straight is 1500, and 6-6-6-2-3 is 600 with the 2 and 3 dead. It flags a farkle when nothing scores (you lose the turn’s points) and tells you whether every die counted — a hot dice that lets you roll all six again. Rulesets vary, so it scores the widely-used set and says so. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for dice-game, party-game and scoring app developers, score-helper and game-night tools, and board-game-companion software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Scores a roll; it does not roll the dice. Live, nothing stored. 1 compute endpoint.
