Kitchen Operations Software Built by a Chef

Built in Vancouver · Independent restaurants, food trucks & catering operations

The Problem

Kitchens run on instinct.
That instinct is costing you money.

Independent operators feel the pain of every dollar wasted. The problem isn't the kitchen — it's the tools. Most software wasn't built by anyone who has ever worked a line.

$48,000

lost per year

The average independent restaurant loses this much annually to food waste and over-ordering.

3+ hours

wasted daily

Chefs spend hours each week manually calculating prep quantities, scaling recipes, and reconciling inventory.

Generic software

doesn't fit kitchens

Most tools are built for retail or warehouses. They don't speak prep sheets, mise en place, or service flow.

Features

Everything a kitchen needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

Built for the way kitchens actually work — not how enterprise software thinks they do.

📋

Prep Planning

Generate day sheets from your recipes in seconds. Know exactly what needs to be prepped before service starts — no guesswork, no scrambling.

⚖️

Recipe Scaling

Scale any recipe to any yield instantly. Quantities, units, and batch sizes recalculate automatically. No more math on the back of a ticket.

📦

Inventory Tracking

Know what you have before you need it. Log stock levels, track usage, and stop over-ordering the same items week after week.

🗑️

Waste Logging

Track what gets thrown out and why. Spot patterns. Reduce waste over time with data you actually collected in your own kitchen.

🚨

Shortage Alerts

Get notified before you run out. Set par levels and let Sharp Chef flag shortages before they become a problem during service.

🌐

No Install Required

Web-based. Open a browser, go to the URL, done. Works on iPad, phone, tablet, or desktop — wherever you are in the kitchen.

Why Sharp Chef Exists

Built from the inside.

I spent nearly 20 years in professional kitchens before writing the first line of code for this product. Line cook, sous chef, Red Seal Chef — I lived every problem Sharp Chef solves.

The prep waste. The over-ordering. The 6am scramble with a handwritten prep list and a prayer. Generic software wasn't built for any of that, because no one who built it ever worked a service.

Sharp Chef is what I wish I had on the line.
