The Problem

Restaurants Are Drowning in Disconnected Tools

The average restaurant uses 8+ separate software tools. This is expensive, inefficient, and painful.

😤

Pain Points

  • Recipe chaos: Scattered across Word docs, notebooks, napkins
  • Zero integration: Recipe costs don't sync with pricing
  • Payroll nightmare: Hours of manual calculations weekly
  • Expensive planning: Business consultants cost $15K+
  • No chef network: LinkedIn doesn't understand culinary
💰

Market Impact

  • $15B+ restaurant tech market (15% YoY growth)
  • 1M+ restaurants in US alone
  • $500/month average software spend per restaurant
  • 60% of new restaurants fail (poor planning)
  • 2M+ culinary professionals need networking
