Great food requires focus. Focus on quality, team, and customers. We learned this as we built our catering company (2Forks), realizing that the larger we grew, the more challenging it became for our chefs to focus on these key activities. Instead, they were spending time shuffling through endless paperwork trying to add up ingredients for the inventory order for the next 2 days, or trying to find a recipe to a dish we serve all the time but was never documented, or trying to prioritize and communicate the prep list to the team. All of these administrative tasks chipped away time from our key activities and we realized we needed a better system to manage everything and enable our chefs to re-focus their energy where it made the highest impact: the food, the team, and the customer.
Piece by piece, we put together a system of spreadsheets that would later become Sous Chef. We started by centralizing all orders in one place so nothing would ever get missed. Then we started documenting everything, and finally connecting it all, which resulted in a time-saving tool that took 30 hours of weekly work and boiled it down to 30 minutes of weekly work for our chefs.
With Sous Chef, we’re in full control of our kitchen; we know the costs, we’ve minimized waste, and we’re able to grow our business. Sign up now and see how Sous Chef can help your kitchen.
