Let's start by giving credit where it's due. TSpoonLab carries weight in organized hospitality. It's been the go-to reference for central kitchens, institutional catering, and hotels needing pinpoint production control and HACCP. Its multi-center system is native, its QR traceability is finely tuned, and they offer something very valuable: hands-on human advisory that guides you through onboarding and configures everything for you. If you want a tried-and-tested standard and the reassurance of an expert setup, TSpoonLab is a solid choice.

Miselup arrives in 2026 with a different bet: a 100% mobile suite that covers every daily operation for the neighborhood hospitality operator. It's not just another costing tool. You start free forever (no credit card) with the recipe book and dynamic costing —up to 50 recipes that recalculate the cost when you tap an ingredient, a starter catalog and tech sheets shareable via URL—; and as you grow, the paid plans add AI import, inventory with batch traceability and FEFO consumption, HACCP, purchasing, mise en place, à la carte, set-menu and buffet offerings with margins, and per-dish profitability.

And here's the real differentiator: daily P&L management. While TSpoonLab gives you the economic result at month-end via Holded or your accountant, Miselup lets you do the day-end close in two minutes from your phone and see your real profit and break-even point at a glance. The management control that TSpoonLab charges you 110–250 €/month and settles at month-end with your advisor, Miselup gives you daily, without an accountant and from your mobile. On top of that, it includes budget vs. actuals and a day-by-line matrix to analyze TODAY, the WEEK, or the MONTH in seconds.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Miselup vs TSpoonLab: Two ways of understanding management, with a free plan

What's the main difference between Miselup and TSpoonLab?

The philosophy. TSpoonLab is a robust, mature manager with human advisory, ideal for large, multi-center operations. Miselup is a modern 100% mobile suite with built-in daily P&L: you close the day in two minutes and see real profit without waiting for month-end or needing an accountant. And it all starts with a free plan.

Does TSpoonLab give me the day's economic result or profit?

No. TSpoonLab gives you the month-end economic result, typically via accounting integration with Holded or your accountant. You won't find a one-glance daily net profit. Miselup, on the other hand, does give you that daily close with real profit and break-even, in a couple of taps from your mobile.

Is Miselup just another recipe costing and recipe program?

Not at all. The dynamic costing with AI is a big part, but Miselup is a full management suite: it includes HACCP and batch traceability with FEFO, inventory and purchasing, mise en place, à la carte and menu offerings with margins, and the daily P&L close. All from one place and from your mobile.

Can I easily migrate from TSpoonLab, an Excel sheet, or start from scratch?

Yes. Miselup is designed for a frictionless start: its AI import builds tech sheets from a photo, a PDF or an Excel file. And because you get a free plan of 50 recipes forever, you can test it and build your catalog without paying anything or entering a card. Risk-free.

Is there any free plan in TSpoonLab or Miselup?

TSpoonLab has no free plan; their pricing starts at 110 €/month. Miselup does offer a free forever plan, with 50 recipes, no card, no expiration. From there, paid plans range from 19 to 149 €/month if you need to scale.
