For the people behind the pass
Good food takes focus.
Your tools should give
some of it back.
From independent restaurants to event kitchens, ChefOS brings the business of food closer to the people making it.
Put food cost in perspective
Small percentages.
Meaningful decisions.
A change in food-cost percentage can have a real dollar impact. Use your own numbers to see what one percentage point represents.
This is an illustration of the math, not a savings promise. ChefOS gives you information to act on; results depend on your data and decisions.
Find a plan for your kitchen$9,455One percentage point, annually

Estimated annual food sales = weekly purchases × 52 ÷ food-cost %. One percentage point = 1% of those sales.

A few good questions
A clearer picture,
before you start.
Something specific to your kitchen?
What should I try first?
Start with one recipe and a supplier invoice or price list. Review the extracted details and see a dish costed with your own numbers. Add counts, sales and production plans as you build out your kitchen.
How much should I trust the AI?
Use it to prepare a draft, then check the result. Upload review cards let you correct ingredient names, quantities and prices before saving. Costs and reports depend on the data you provide. Allergen tags and nutritional estimates need your team’s verification against ingredients and supplier information.
Can my cooks use it on their own phones?
Yes. ChefOS has focused phone screens for recipes, prep, grocery lists and stock counts. Assign cook or counter roles and issue sign-in codes, without giving everyone access to your kitchen’s financial information.
Does it connect to my POS or accounting software?
ChefOS includes connections for systems such as Square, Clover, QuickBooks Online and Xero, plus tools for email and labour data. Setup and availability depend on the provider and your account. Ask us to confirm your setup, or start with sales exports and supplier documents.
What counts as a credit?
A document send or recipe-link capture normally uses one credit; a large catalog uses two. A question normally uses half a credit, or one for web-assisted or longer answers. A buffet map uses two; a drawn dish photo, half. Counts, saved recipe browsing, cookbooks, grocery lists and reports don’t use AI credits. Each plan includes a monthly allowance; extra packs contain 100 credits for $15 USD.
Can I move over from spreadsheets or Optimum Control?
Bring your recipe cards, supplier lists, sales exports and countsheets. ChefOS supports common document and spreadsheet formats and understands Optimum Control terminology. We can help you choose what to import first; review the results before relying on them.
What happens after the trial?
Your account and data stay. We set up billing with you on the plan you picked; if you decide not to continue, nothing is charged and you can export everything. Plan prices are in USD. Canadian kitchens are welcome; currency conversion is handled by your payment provider.
Can I export my data?
Yes. You can export kitchen data including recipes, suppliers and counts as CSV. Team access is controlled by roles, with a separate workspace for each kitchen. See our Privacy Policy for details.
