From the notebook
Photograph a written recipe or kitchen note and turn the visible structure into an editable draft for review.
Architect menus offline. Scale costs instantly.
Turn voice notes, photos, PDFs, and spreadsheets into structured recipes, then recalculate the same culinary idea for the suppliers and margin of every location.
Offline capture is stored on the device and processed when the connection returns.
Three ways in. One technical sheet out.
Use the source that already exists. Heard Chef meets the recipe where it is, instead of asking the chef to retype the kitchen from scratch.
From the line
Dictate ingredients and prep methods with your hands occupied. If the signal drops, capture waits safely for reconnection.
From the old system
Import PDF, spreadsheet, or document recipes and continue the work inside a consistent operational format.
One recipe. Every location's reality.
Recipes stay reusable. Prices do not. Each project carries its own suppliers, currency, location, and Price Book so margin decisions follow the actual operation.
- Keep culinary methods consistent across projects.
- Version local prices without overwriting another location.
- See the cost impact before the menu reaches service.

- Prevent parallel copies from becoming conflicting sources of truth.
Recipe-first by design.
Heard Chef starts with culinary knowledge and carries it forward into costing, projects, menus, and team execution.
| Operational need | Traditional back-office flow | Heard Chef |

| Recipe capture | Manual desktop entry | Voice, photo, PDF, or spreadsheet |
| Poor connection | Work stops | Capture queues for reconnection |
| Getting started | Implementation project | Begin with one real recipe |
| Multiple locations | Duplicate spreadsheets | Reusable recipe, contextual Price Books |
