Kitchen Command

AI-guided service operations for fine-dining kitchens. Built on the chef's voice walk, the SpotOn POS data, and the model only your kitchen owns.

The thesis

Every check-in, every AI call, every outcome is preserved and structured. The longer Kitchen Command runs in your kitchen, the more accurate the forecasts, the sharper the specials, the tighter the schedule. This is the operational model only your kitchen owns. Toast and SpotOn cannot replicate it.

How it works

1
Morning voice walk

Chef speaks a 45-second walkthrough of what's on the line, what's expiring, what came in fresh. Web Speech API today, Whisper later.

2
Structure the chaos

Entity extraction turns the transcript into queryable rows: ingredient, quantity, freshness signal. Cross-referenced against last 7 days of SpotOn sales and tomorrow's day-of-week pattern.

3
Decisions, not dashboards

Service brief for tonight. Original specials with name + price + margin. Tomorrow's prep list. Right-sized labor schedule. Printed and posted on the line.

4
Close the loop

After service the chef logs what worked. Feedback compounds. By month three, the model knows your kitchen better than any consultant could.

The ask

  1. SpotOn API access for The Cache. One-time setup, then live data flows in.
  2. A 30-day pilot with the existing kitchen team. No new tools to learn. The chef speaks, the system listens.
  3. One scheduled review at day 30 to walk through the Operator report together and decide on Phase 2.

Numbers throughout this app are calculated from 30 days of synthetic seed data shaped to match Cache-scale operations. Real SpotOn and Paycom data replace the assumptions in week one of the pilot.

Tonight's Prep List
For tomorrow's service

    Tonight's Specials

    AI-generated from your inventory + voice walk + day-of-week pattern

    Specials are auto-built from items the chef flagged this morning, the forecast for tonight, and the day-of-week sales pattern. Every line traces back to a real piece of data - including the chef's exact phrase that triggered it.

    Cross-Venue Use

    Move aging or over-ordered product between The Cache and The Cafe before it becomes waste. One walk-in, two menus.

      The Cache (fine dining) and The Cafe (all-day comfort and bakery) share one kitchen and walk-in. When something is aging upstairs, the most profitable move is often a dish that already exists downstairs.

      Spend by role · last 30 days

      Labor data is currently mocked in the exact shape of Paycom's employees + payperiod endpoints and SpotOn's labor/punches + sales-summary endpoints. When G&B authorizes API access, this view swaps to live data with no UI changes.
