Professional food labels in seconds, straight from your iPhone or iPad. EtiquetaChef is the day-to-day app for teams already using the service: sign in, print the expiry label on the Bluetooth thermal printer on the bench, scan the QR code and check the item off. No pen, no tape, no spreadsheet. WHAT IT DOES ⢠Expiry computed automatically from the product rule ā primary, opened, prepared, thawed or cooked ⢠Allergens flagged per ingredient ⢠Lot number and QR code on every label, for traceability ⢠Bluetooth thermal printing, in batches when you need it ⢠Full, partial or mixed check-off by scanning the QR code, with undo ⢠Current stock and the day's monitor, by responsible person ⢠Catalogue of products, suppliers, responsible staff and label templates ⢠Works without internet on the critical path: whatever the kitchen records offline syncs later, with nothing lost REQUIRES AN EXISTING ACCOUNT This app does not create accounts or businesses. It is for people who already belong to a registered kitchen ā signing up happens on the website. REQUIRES A PRINTER Printing needs a compatible Bluetooth thermal printer. Without one, the rest of the app works normally. Terms of Use (EULA): https://etiquetachef.com/en/legal/terms

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PrepFlow at none against EtiquetaChef's 1. PrepFlow also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). EtiquetaChef's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
