## What is Kitchen Agent for Chefs?

Kitchen Agent is a kitchen-operations workspace for chefs, managers, and owners.

Capture messy shift information as it happens, keep the original source intact, and turn it into reviewable operational records. Nothing becomes official until a manager reviews it.

CAPTURE WITHOUT STOPPING THE SHIFT

• Daily Capture accepts rough notes, pasted text, iOS keyboard dictation, and user-selected photos across staff, inventory, prep, waste, food safety, maintenance, incidents, purchasing, menus, vendors, and general notes.

• Capture provides a hands-free AI voice session for longer, multi-topic kitchen logs. Start once, speak naturally, and hear a confirmation after each item is actually saved. Say “finish the log” to close; unclear details trigger one short question instead of a guess.

• New captures save locally first. Pending entries synchronize when service returns, while the original source remains traceable.

CONTROL WHAT BECOMES OFFICIAL

• Review source-linked drafts, urgent flags, duplicate references, and unresolved questions beside their original entries.

• Keep drafts out of approved totals until an authorized manager approves them.

• Publish finished reports to the authenticated owner dashboard only when they are ready.

PLAN MENUS WITHOUT CHANGING LIVE COSTS

• Build an isolated proposed menu, add dishes and ingredients, and compare it with the current menu before deployment.

• Compare purchasing, food cost, margin, labor, and waste assumptions while missing values remain clearly unresolved instead of becoming invented zeros.

• Deploy only a complete reviewed menu. The prior current menu stays in Saved Menus, and the manager chooses whether unused ingredients remain active.

UNDERSTAND SALES, COST, AND PREP

• Import CSV, TSV, text, or XLSX point-of-sale exports and reconcile discounts, comps, refunds, tax, tips, and net food sales.

• Maintain ingredients, pack costs, yields, recipes, inventory counts, and menu prices.

• Compare theoretical and actual food cost and identify missing mappings, stale costs, and incomplete counts.

• Run multiple prep timers at once and allocate overlapping time without charging the same worker minute twice.

• Forecast 1–28 days of menu-item demand, prep batches, and ingredient requirements from approved sales history and manager-entered events.

KEEP PURCHASING ORGANIZED

• Maintain a private farm and vendor directory with contact details, products, delivery notes, and verification status.

• Build a purchase-order draft, review the recipient and contents, then hand it to Mail or the share sheet. Kitchen Agent never emails a vendor without a manager action.

BUILT FOR ACCOUNTABILITY

Role-based access separates operator capture, manager approval, and owner visibility. The optional native AI Assistant and Kitchen Agent integration in ChatGPT use only authorized restaurant context and preserve the same draft and approval boundaries. AI-generated drafts can be incomplete, so quantities, temperatures, allergens, food-safety steps, costs, forecasts, recipients, and attachments must be reviewed before action.

SUBSCRIPTION AND CONNECTIVITY

Kitchen Agent Monthly is $14.99/month through Apple and renews automatically unless canceled. A subscription unlocks kitchen workflow tools and a shared, metered monthly AI allowance; AI is not unlimited. No automatic overage charges. Existing complimentary beta kitchens retain their access. Restore purchases and manage subscriptions in the app.

Internet is required for synchronization and AI. Typed captures can queue offline.
