Why it matters

Three things every serious kitchen owes itself.

Accuracy

Eliminate the 5 to 8 percent margin leak hidden in your yield and waste.

Whole-fish trim, artichoke prep loss, oil-by-litre-served-by-gram: every hidden loss is reconciled by the engine. Real numbers, real margin.

Time

Automate the administrative heavy lifting: invoice to inventory in seconds.

Photograph a supplier invoice, watch the AI extract line items, map them to your ingredients and stock the pantry. What took an hour takes a minute.

Certainty

Total operational visibility for Executive Chefs and Business Owners.

Sunday-night cost digest, quarter-over-quarter menu snapshots and a live labour ledger. Know the number before the accountant does.

Precision Costing

100% accurate to the gram, drop, and dollar.

Every recipe converted across weight, volume and count. Yield-adjusted purchase prices. Labour split by batch. When you tap Save, the number is right. Not close, not approximate. Right.

  • Weight ↔ volume conversion via ingredient density
  • Yield-adjusted usable-cost per pack
  • Batch labour distributed across servings
  • Currency and locale detected automatically
Automated Inventory

Invoice-to-inventory in seconds, not spreadsheets.

Snap a supplier invoice. The AI reads every line item, matches suppliers, updates purchase prices and increments your pantry. Every sale automatically deducts the yield-adjusted quantities on the back-end.

  • AI extraction from photos and PDFs
  • Supplier-mapping memory across invoices
  • Auto-deduct on every recorded sale
  • Live low-stock alerts before you 86
Culinary Insights

AI-driven signal, not spreadsheet noise.

Weekly Cost Digest, quarterly Menu Snapshots, and Michelin-style plating critique on any dish photo. The system tells you where the margin is moving, and why, before it costs you a season.

  • Sunday-night cost digest by email
  • Menu snapshots with quarter-over-quarter deltas
  • AI plating coach on any hero photograph
  • Waste tagged by reason for process signal
