About
Chef’s Helper is kitchen management software for chefs, restaurants, cafés, pubs, caterers, and other professional kitchens. Its web and Android apps bring recipes, ingredient and batch costing, menu margins, inventory, supplier order lists, prep assignments, and staff rotas into one workspace. Users can calculate portion costs and gross profit, account for trim loss and VAT, scale recipes, track stock and waste, and record food-safety checks, fridge and freezer temperatures, 90-minute cooling, probe calibration, and deep cleans with photo proof. Recipes are checked against 14 UK allergens, with a review history and printable allergen sheets. The system also tracks staff hygiene training and exports EHO audit packs. A limited free plan, a 14-day full-feature trial, and paid plans for solo chefs and teams are available.
