How It Started
For over 40 years, the founders and team behind reciProfity have been dedicated to building food costing and inventory control software. It all began in the 1980s when reciProfity started as At Your Service Software, Inc., offering a program for MS-DOS. Around the turn of the century, the Windows desktop version, CostGuard, was released, and in 2017 the cloud-based version, reciProfity, was launched.
reciProfity Founders, Matthew and Pam Starobin, met while working demanding jobs on Wall Street when they decided to pursue a new business adventure. Pam, Matthew’s wife, took up cooking classes with a famous chef in New York where she noticed a gap in efficient recipe management. This inspired Pam and, together, they conceptualized and delivered one of the first computerized consumer recipe programs. This was just the beginning of reciProfity’s journey.
Evolving with Technology
In 2017, recognizing the evolving technology needs in the food service industry, Matthew and Pam launched the third iteration of their solutions stack that is now called reciProfity. Now, reciProfity proudly serves restaurant, hotel, and retail food operators around the globe, providing them with best-in-class cloud-hosted solutions for food costing, inventory control, and recipe management, built on 40+ years of industry knowledge and expertise.

The Future of reciProfity
In August 2023, ECRS, a leading retail technology solutions provider for over 30 years, acquired reciProfity, giving the founders enthusiasm about the future to continue reciProfity’s legacy.
