About

PreciTaste

Read full description

AIKMS is PreciTaste's back-of-house software for restaurants — one place to plan the day, run it, and see what actually happened. Prep, production, inventory, food-safety checklists, purchasing and recipes, on the tablet already on your counter. PREP Daily Prep tells each station what to make and how much, from your PAR sheet and the day ahead. Prep Tasks track what is done, what is in progress, and what is still waiting. PRODUCTION Cook Task and the Call Screen guide the line through the day — what to cook, when, and on which equipment. Day Setup and the Equipment Queue keep the plan and the kit in step. INVENTORY Count against count sheets, receive deliveries against orders, transfer stock between locations, and keep vendors, catalogues and delivery schedules in one place. CHECKLISTS Build opening, closing and food-safety checklists in Checklist Manager and assign them per location. A task can ask for a tick, a yes or no, a photo, a signature, free text, a rating, a date or time, a stopwatch, a barcode or QR scan, or a measurement checked against a valid range — so a temperature log either passes or flags, and a check leaves evidence rather than a memory. Tasks can carry a corrective action for a failed answer. Regional and Corporate reports show which sites completed what. PURCHASING Order from your own catalogue with order history to look back through, and use Waste Goals to shape what gets ordered per category and weekday instead of reordering last week by habit. RECIPES AND MENUS Menus, a Recipe Editor, units and store types — the definitions everything else runs on, so a change to a recipe reaches the boards that use it. FORECASTING AND REPORTING Demand forecasts drive the prep and production plans, and dashboards roll results up from a single kitchen to a region. BUILT FOR HOW KITCHENS ACTUALLY WORK Staff sign in with their work email — no shared logins to remember. The app keeps working when the Wi-Fi drops, queues what was recorded, and syncs when the connection returns, showing clearly anything that failed. Labels print straight to the printer on the counter. One app covers every location a person has access to. AIKMS is used by restaurant teams whose accounts are created by their own administrator. It is not a consumer app and there is nothing to buy inside it.
