The system underneath the discipline.
Kitchen Counts is comprehensive inventory management software plus speech-to-text agentic diagnostics, backed by a library of Procedures, Routines, and Training documents that set the standard for what to do in a kitchen.
One month on-site builds the full system and trains the internal person who will own it. Ethan then monitors remotely on a QA cadence. Every engagement leaves a self-running system, not a dependency.
Software, diagnostics, and thelibrary behind both.
Four pieces, one system. None of them work as well alone as they do together.
The Software
Comprehensive inventory management software: recipe costing, live vendor price monitoring, variance tracking, and ordering, all in one system your team runs day to day.
Agentic Diagnostics
Staff describe what they see, out loud. Speech-to-text logs it instantly, and the diagnostic agent works out the likely cause and routes a fix to a named owner.
The PRT Library
Procedures, Routines, and Training documents set the standard for what to do in your kitchen. Every diagnosis cross-references them automatically, so the fix is never a guess.
One Month, Then QA
We build and train the full system on-site in a month. Ethan then monitors remotely on a QA cadence. Each engagement leaves a system that runs itself, not one that depends on us.
Built for the two peoplewho actually touch it.
Management gets the diagnosis. Staff get the floor tools. Every log from either app feeds the same weekly count.

- Speak the Problem, Skip the Form
- Management describes a problem in the kitchen out loud. Speech-to-text logs it instantly: no forms, no delay, no lost detail.
- Contextual Diagnostic Agent
- The agent cross-references the report against your KC Library and PRTs to diagnose the likely cause and recommend a fix, routed to a named owner.

Built for the people running service, not managing the P&L.
- Recipe Finder & Live Follow
- Staff pull up any recipe on the floor, follow it step by step, and convert yields or units on the fly.
- AI Waste Vision
- A photo of discarded product is analyzed, categorized, and logged straight into the waste record: no manual entry.
Every diagnosis and every log feeds the same weekly loop, so the count gets sharper the longer the system runs.
The system, delivered asworking tools.
Eight components. Installed together during the one-month build, run by your team from there.

PRT Library + Scenario Case Studies
Written procedures, routines, and training for every core task, plus worked scenarios.
Comprehensive Base Inventory System
A costed, structured inventory backbone your team runs. Not a login you forget.
AI Integrated Waste Management
Waste captured, categorized, and fed back into ordering and prep pars.
