CHEF by Seven
The AI-powered operations platform for independent restaurants, catering operations, and shared commercial kitchens. Stop tracking things in your head.
The operational work that eats your day is usually not the hardest work. It is the work that never stops.
Track ingredient costs against current supplier prices. Get alerted when a price increase changes a dish's margin before you notice it on the P&L.
One place for every supplier relationship — contacts, delivery schedules, pricing history, and backup sources. Know who to call before the crisis happens.
Staff certification expiry dates, hood cleaning schedules, temperature log reminders, and a pre-inspection checklist. Never get caught unprepared.
Your recipes documented, costed, and versioned. Allergen matrix kept current. The institutional knowledge that walks out the door when a chef leaves.
Three tiers
CHEF comes in three configurations — from a standalone AI operations assistant to a fully integrated access control and intelligence platform.
The AI operations assistant for food service operators. Tracks food cost, manages supplier relationships, handles compliance calendars, and surfaces problems before they become crises.
Operational infrastructure for shared commercial kitchens and commissary environments. Identity-based access control, scheduling enforcement, and a complete audit ledger.
Both platforms, fully integrated. The Agent sees the Access ledger — who was in the kitchen, when, for how long — and reasons across both. Capability that neither product provides alone.
What's different
Not a generic business assistant. CHEF understands food cost percentages, FIFO rotation, health inspection categories, and the difference between a primary and backup supplier.
Your POS tracks what sold and for how much. CHEF tracks what it cost, whether that cost is sustainable, and what needs attention. Two systems, one picture.
Staff certifications, hood cleanings, temperature logs. CHEF keeps the calendar so the operator doesn't have to hold it in their head.
CHEF is part of the Seven product family — the same AI crew model that runs Aleph's own operations, applied specifically to food service.
No pressure. A short conversation about your current situation and whether CHEF is a fit. We'll tell you honestly either way.
