For head chefs and kitchen leads
True plate costs, an allergen answer in seconds, and a board that survives the Wi-Fi.
ChowChirp keeps recipe costs current from real invoices, tells the floor what is safe and what is short, and runs the kitchen board from a node in your own shop.
Where you are
Your recipe costs were right the day you wrote them. Prices moved, portions drifted, and now the menu price is a feeling. The allergy question at the counter ends up at your pass. And when the internet drops mid-service, the chits do too.
ChowChirp keeps the cost honest, answers the allergen question without you, and keeps the board alive.
What changes
Plate cost from real prices
Each approved invoice updates the price behind every recipe. The docket tells you on target, watch or over.
What is short before service
The feasibility board checks each dish against the last physical count of its ingredients.
An allergen answer for the floor
The matrix covers 14 allergen codes, including modifiers. Filter by the guest's allergies and hand the safe list to the server.
Stations that see only their work
Tickets route by station and course. Bump, problem, recall, remake. The expo lands the table together.
86 with a reason
Stockout, prep shortage or equipment down. The whole floor sees it at once.
Cooking and cooling controls in the flow
Probe, pass, fail. Cooling stages with deadlines. Discard prompts when a stage is missed.
A day with ChowChirp
- 9:00
Check feasibility. Sotong sambal is at risk: squid is below two services. Tell purchasing.
- 11:30
Service. Two stations, one expo. A remake on table 12 is recorded, not argued.
- 14:00
Rendang cost docket says watch. Open it. Beef went up on last week's invoice.
- 16:00
Cooling log for the rendang batch. Stage one passed with 40 minutes to spare.
The screens you will live in
Recipes and menu
Costed recipes tie your menu to your stock. Menu engineering sorts dishes into stars, plowhorses, puzzles and dogs. The allergen matrix and the feasibility board tell the floor what is safe and what is short before service.
- Early access
Kitchen and counter
Kitchen display screens that keep working when the internet drops, a cash counter that cannot double-charge, and a floor plan with reservations and a waitlist. Installed and handed over by a trained installer.
Food safety
Temperature checks, cooking and cooling controls, cleaning runs, HACCP records, halal records, incidents and licences in one place. Generate an inspection pack for MOH, JAKIM, DBKL or MeSTI and share it through an expiring link.
Stock
Receive deliveries against purchase orders, count stock on a phone, log waste and transfers, and see what every balance is based on. Low-confidence numbers tell you which count would fix them.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change a recipe myself?
Recipe changes are made with the onboarding team for now so that costs and allergens stay consistent. In-app editing is on the roadmap.
Is the board loud enough for a kitchen?
It is built for glare and gloves: dark theme, large targets, no hover. It is visual only for now; a chime is on the roadmap.
What happens if the tablet dies?
Move to the designated spare station, or fall back to numbered paper tickets. The service day continues on the node.
