Stop Guessing Your Food Costs.
Start Running Your Kitchen On Real Inventory Data.
Yes Chef OS is an AI powered inventory and forecasting platform that connects your walk in, recipes, POS, and vendor invoices into one simple operating system. So you know exactly what you have, what you used, and what you need to order next.
The Problem: Restaurant Inventory Is Broken
For most restaurants, inventory is still a painful mix of:
Clipboards and spreadsheets that are never up to date
Walking the walk in and "eyeballing" what is left
Recipes that are not actually connected to real usage
Food cost percentages calculated weeks after the fact
Order guides based on habit, not data
Food waste and lost profit
Over ordering perishable items that expire on shelves.
Running out of key items
86ing menu items in the middle of service.
Inconsistent food cost
Every month looks different, and it is hard to pinpoint why.
Hidden theft and shrinkage
You do not see small losses until they become big problems.
Labor drag
Managers spend hours every week counting inventory and building orders.
All of this eats into your margins in a business where 3 to 5 percent profit can be the difference between thriving and closing.
You do not have a food problem. You have a data problem.
The Solution: Yes Chef OS
Yes Chef OS turns your inventory, recipes, sales, and invoices into a single, live source of truth.
The mobile app uses AI to detect what is in your walk in and storage with a simple phone scan.
The web app pulls in your recipes, POS sales, and vendor invoices.
The forecasting engine tells you what you will need for the next order, based on real usage.
Instead of guessing, you get a clear, real time picture of:
What you have on hand
What it is worth
How fast it is moving
What you should order next
