Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a crucial role in the economy by creating jobs and fostering local economic growth. However, MSMEs, especially in the culinary sector, often face challenges in managing finances, including accurately calculating the Cost of Goods Manufactured (COGM).

This study aims to offer guidance for MSMEs in managing production costs and setting prices effectively, enhancing their market competitiveness.
