Chef-Ops-Pro: The All-in-One Kitchen Operations Platform Built for the Way Hospitality Really Works
- CHEF-OPS-PRO-
A new cloud-based platform brings compliance, team management, scheduling and operations into a single dashboard— purpose-built for professional kitchens across hotels, restaurants and catering
Professional kitchens are the engine room of the hospitality industry. They are also, in most cases, the last place in a modern hospitality operation where paper still rules.
Chef-Ops-Pro, which launched in May 2026, is a cloudbased kitchen operations management platform designed to change that. Built by a hospitality professional who spent years working in professional kitchens before building the tool he wished had existed, it brings together the core systems that kitchen teams rely on every day— food safety and compliance, team scheduling, staff communication, training records, maintenance tracking, stock and procurement management and food cost monitoring— into a single, intuitive dashboard.
The platform replaces the disconnected combination of paper logs, spreadsheet rotas, WhatsApp group chats and lever-arch compliance folders that characterise most UK kitchen operations today. In their place, it offers digital temperature logging with automatic pass / fail results, EHO-ready compliance reporting, daily HACCP checklist management, rota building and holiday management, structured shift handover logs, digital training sign-off, maintenance issue tracking, procurement approval workflows and monthly food cost visibility against target.
“ Born From Frustration Built for hospitality teams Created from the pressure, paperwork, and constant operational weight that so many Chefs and kitchen Managers know all too well.”— Michael White, Founder, Chef-Ops-Pro
Chef-Ops-Pro is designed to scale across the full range of hospitality operations— from independent restaurants and cafés moving away from paper-based systems to hotel kitchens with multi-outlet complexity, multi-site restaurant groups requiring portfolio-level oversight, and franchise operators standardising processes across properties. A multi-property structure allows each site to be configured independently for modules, temperature thresholds, job roles, holiday allowances and branding, while senior operators maintain visibility across all sites from a single login.
With UK food hygiene legislation continuing to tighten and the reputational consequences of an EHO inspection failure more significant than ever— particularly in an era of public hygiene ratings and online guest reviews— Chef-Ops-Pro offers operators of every scale the confidence that their compliance records are accurate, accessible and audit-ready at all times.
