The 10 Frustrations

Sound Familiar?

Every resort kitchen we've worked with has at least 6 of these. Most have all 10. Each one costs you money, time, or risk — usually all three.

01

Recipes live in the head chef's head — and leave with them

Every departure is a knowledge drain. Onboarding the replacement takes weeks.

Every recipe stored, searchable, and printable. Chef turnover becomes a non-event.

02

A new recipe card takes half a day to produce

Word doc, format, photo resize, allergen check, print. Four hours minimum.

8 minutes from dish to print-ready allergen-verified card on the wall.

03

Your allergen matrix is a spreadsheet nobody trusts

Manual updates. Human error. One incident away from a six-figure liability.

Auto-verified on every card. 14 EU allergens. Zero manual checks required.

04

Health inspection prep takes two days of panic

Scrambling to find documents, print records, brief staff. Every single time.

Open the laptop. Documentation is current, organised, and ready.

05

Food cost is drifting but nobody knows exactly why

Portion sizes vary by chef. The same dish costs 30% more at one outlet.

Standardised specs across every outlet. Variance eliminated by the card.

06

New chef onboarding takes 6–8 weeks of confusion

Below-standard food. Guest complaints. Kitchen tension. Lost revenue.

System does the teaching. Average onboarding now 4 days.

07

Seasonal menu updates create a documentation backlog

Old cards on the wall. Chefs working from memory. Inconsistency guaranteed.

Update once, regenerate instantly. Every outlet gets the new card same day.

08

Multi-property consistency is aspirational, not operational

The flagship property's standards don't survive the copy-paste to property three.

Central recipe library, deployed to all properties simultaneously.

09

Training plans exist as PDFs nobody prints

No visibility into who's been trained on what. Compliance gaps everywhere.

Training plan tracker linked to each dish and outlet. Status visible in real-time.

10

Your GM has no visibility into kitchen documentation status

They find out about gaps when something goes wrong.

Executive dashboard: recipe coverage, training completion, inspection readiness.

What changes when you have a system

Real kitchens. Real numbers.

How It Works

Menu to Wall in Under 8 Minutes

You don't write recipes. You don't format cards. You don't build allergen matrices. The system does the heavy lifting. You review and approve.

01

Upload Your Menu

2 min

Drop in a PDF, paste from email, snap a photo, or give us a URL. Our AI extracts every dish — name, description, price, dietary flags.

02

Recipes Built Automatically

Automatic

The recipe engine builds complete professional recipes: ingredients with quantities, method steps with temperatures, allergens auto-verified. You review — not write.

03

Photograph Your Dishes

30 sec / dish

Open the generator on your iPhone. Tap 'Take Photo' at the pass. The image uploads to the card instantly. That's your hero card — 90% dish photo.

04

Generate Cards

3 clicks

Select outlet → select dish → generate. Recipe card for the kitchen file. Hero card for the wall. QR code linking the two. Both download in one tap.

05

Print and Mount

Done

Print the hero cards. Laminate them. Put them on the wall. Every station, every outlet. Staff scan the QR, get the full recipe on their phone. Standards are visible.
