What ChefTec is

ChefTec is paid web software for kitchen operations. It brings food costs, inventory, menus, and compliance into one operating system. Recipe and menu costing uses ingredient costs, with scaling and analysis by portion or yield. Users can create, scale, and update unlimited recipes, including AI-assisted procedures. Inventory tools track stock, purchases, invoices, and inventory value. ChefTec Ultra adds production planning, scheduling runs, scaling recipes to volume, and prep tracking. Nutrition calculations use a database of more than 1,700 ingredients, and the software can label nine major allergens. Lot numbers, production details, sell-by dates, and expiration alerts support traceability. Integrations include food vendors, POS systems, QuickBooks, Caterease, and Total Party Planner. CorTec Ultima supports unlimited users without tiered seats or per-user costs. Enterprise onboarding and training are included at no additional cost. ChefTec supports multi-location operations and identifies restaurants, culinary schools, caterers, clubs, chains, hotels, and enterprise foodservice groups as customers.
