Operating window
Jeff and the platform run continuously. Decisions don't wait for office hours.
The problem

A multi-brand group running ten or twenty locations has the same recipe drift, the same supplier opacity, the same theoretical-versus-actual gap as one running two. The systems just get worse at hiding it. Stock counts live in spreadsheets, recipes live in chefs' heads, and the P&L tells you only what already happened. A three-point gap between theoretical and actual food cost, across a dozen branches, is the kind of leak that doesn't show up until the year-end audit — by which point it's a senior hire you didn't have to lose.

A 3-point gap between theoretical and actual food cost, across twelve locations, is a senior hire you didn't have to lose.
How it works

Three movements. Then it runs.

Step 01

Bring your kitchens in.

We connect to your POS, ERP and supplier feeds — Foodics, ODOO, and the rest — and pull the operation into one place. Two weeks, typically; sometimes less.

Typical onboarding · 2 weeks
Step 02

Standardise and protect.

Recipes are locked, costed and versioned. Allergens propagate down sub-recipes. Suppliers, units and currencies are reconciled across brands.

Recipes versioned · every save
Step 03

Operate with intelligence.

The platform watches every branch, flags variance the day it happens, drafts purchase orders, suggests recipe swaps when supplier prices move. Decisions, not dashboards.

Average payback · under one quarter
The product, in detail

Six surfaces. One source of truth.

01 · Recipe IP

Your recipes, locked, costed, versioned.

Every recipe carries its yield, allergen profile, plate cost and an audit trail of every edit. Sub-recipes propagate down. Permissions decide who can change what. Recipes stop walking out the door.

  • Plate cost auto-recomputed when any ingredient price moves
  • Version history with one-click rollback, attributed by user
  • Multi-language fields — Arabic and English side-by-side

04 · Food cost control

Theoretical versus actual, by ingredient.

The variance report a finance director actually wants — costed by recipe, reconciled against the count, attributed to the branch that owns it. Drill from group P&L down to a single 50g portion of chicken breast.

  • Daily variance, daily — not month-end surprises
  • COGS by brand, by branch, by daypart
  • Supplier audit when the variance is theirs, not yours

An intelligence layer for F&B — used by humans, queried by software.

ChefAdmin already runs the data: recipes, suppliers, sales, stock, variance. Jeff is the copilot on top of it. Same answers, two front doors — one for the people in your kitchens, one for any system that needs to ask.
