How long does setup take?
Most teams review a first production import in 30 minutes. Station routing and prefix rules are tuned during onboarding so work goes to the right station from day one.
Do we need special tablets?
No. ChefOS runs in a modern browser on common kitchen tablets, laptops, and manager screens. No app install, no special hardware.
Does it work with Parsley?
Yes. ChefOS supports Parsley Sub-Recipe Summary PDF import out of the box. Export from Parsley, upload to ChefOS, and your station work is ready to review in under a minute.
Does ChefOS manage recipes too?
Yes. ChefOS includes a full recipe library with versioning, scaling, and sub-recipe support. Publish a recipe and costs and nutrition recalculate automatically across everything that uses it.
Can it generate nutrition labels?
Yes. ChefOS generates FDA-compliant nutrition facts panels from your recipe data. Allergen flags — milk, eggs, tree nuts, gluten, and more — flow through from ingredient to label automatically.
Does it handle purchasing?
Yes. Create purchase orders directly from production plans or order guides. Send to suppliers, track received vs. ordered, and reconcile invoices without leaving ChefOS.
Is there a mobile app?
Yes. ChefOS includes a native iOS and Android app for inventory counting, receiving POs, and printing labels on the floor. Offline-first — it works even when the WiFi doesn't.
Can you run multiple kitchen locations?
Yes on Enterprise plans. Assign production events by site, transfer stock between kitchens, and see consolidated reports across your entire operation.
