The problem it solves

Running a kitchen means constantly watching what's running low, what's about to expire, and which supplier has the best price, all while your staff are busy with service. Waste and last-minute shortages happen when nobody catches the warning signs in time.

Who it fits

A restaurant or food service kitchen team managing ingredient stock and supplier orders.

How it works

  1. The automation reads live stock data from your Google Sheets
  2. Each day it summarizes what came in, went out, and was wasted, and sends it to Telegram
  3. AI reviews ingredient trends and predicts what needs buying that week
  4. It watches for low or expiring stock and sends alerts to Telegram right away
  5. When it's time to order, AI compares supplier prices and recommends the best one for a purchase order
What you get

The best supplier surfaced before you order

You get daily stock summaries, low-inventory alerts, and a recommended supplier whenever it's time to reorder ingredients.

What you get

Daily stock summaries, low-stock alerts, and supplier-recommended purchase orders in Telegram.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, a Telegram bot, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
