Net-Chef

Net-Chef is a restaurant back-office management system associated with CAKE, a point-of-sale platform for restaurants. Back-office systems in this category handle inventory and recipe costing, purchasing and vendor orders, food cost and waste tracking, and labor management. Integration with POS data allows theoretical versus actual usage comparison, letting operators identify shrinkage and margin leakage by item. The platform is used by restaurant owners, general managers, and kitchen managers at single-site and multi-unit operations. Its value is connecting front-of-house sales data to purchasing and inventory so food cost decisions rest on actual consumption rather than estimates.
