Count fast.
Never run short.
Everything connected.
Sous Steward turns inventory and prep counts into shopping lists, and shopping lists into one-tap vendor orders — so the line never runs out and nothing rots in the walk-in.
Every line below is a real, recurring expense. Add them up — then read on.
Estimates based on common restaurant-industry figures — your numbers will vary.
Here's the system that closes every one of these gaps.
Every operational tab works on its own and feeds every other. No spreadsheets, no memory, no gaps.
Barcode scan, photo of your count sheet, or by hand — counts flow straight into prep boards, shopping lists, and the audit log.
Set how many covers you're targeting. The system tells you exactly what to batch and exactly what to order — before service, not during.
Inventory, recipes, prep, and purchasing all draw from one connected data graph. Here's how it flows.
Nine tabs, one connected system — inventory, prep, menu, shopping, vendors, and more.
Four roles, two employee sub-roles. Every role can count inventory and view the log — only the people you choose can touch recipes, vendors, or settings.
Phone in the walk-in, tablet on the pass, desktop at the desk — all in sync, even offline.
Coming soon — not yet available to buy. Connect Toast, Square or Clover and your sales, menu items and labor hours flow in automatically. The Finance add-on builds on that plus your kitchen data — recipe costs, scanned receipts, margins, bank feed and AI-assisted bookkeeping, without a spreadsheet in sight.
Every subscription includes the full kitchen system — all 9 operational tabs, all capture methods, unlimited ingredients & recipes, RBAC, multi-device sync, and offline mode. Same app on every billing cycle — pick whichever fits your cash flow. No card charged for 14 days.
No. Sous Steward works standalone — you can run your entire kitchen on it without any POS connection.
The full app — all 9 operational tabs, all capture methods, RBAC, multi-device sync. No card is charged for 14 days. On day 15, billing starts automatically on the cycle you picked (weekly, monthly or annual) unless you cancel first.
Card data is handled by Square — we never see your card number or CVV.
Yes. Real-time sync means every device sees changes the moment they happen. A line cook scanning barcodes in the walk-in, a chef logging a prep batch, and an owner checking the shopping list — all live simultaneously.
Yes — it's offline-first. Every change saves locally before syncing. You can count inventory, log prep batches, and update the shopping list with no signal. The sync status indicator (synced / syncing / offline / unsaved) always shows you where you stand.
On iOS, it uses Apple's native VisionKit — extremely fast and accurate even in low-light walk-ins. On Android and desktop browsers, it uses the camera API. Each scan auto-detects the barcode, beeps + vibrates, and drops a Portion Picker (¼, ½, ¾, 1, 2 quick buttons or a numeric stepper). Unknown barcodes let you link to an existing ingredient or create a new one.
It’s coming soon — you can’t buy it yet. When it ships, it will connect your POS — Toast, Square or Clover — so sales, menu items and labor hours sync automatically, and connect your bank so transactions and balances come in too. On top of that: live food cost and margin per recipe and menu item, receipt scanning via AI OCR, P&L, bills, budget, tax tracking, QuickBooks export, and AI supplier alternate suggestions. The 9 operational tabs are fully functional without it. Pricing and release date will be announced here.
One plan — Kitchen — on three billing cycles: $14.95/week, $49.95/month, or $499/year (annual saves about $100 against monthly). The app is identical on all three; pick whichever suits your cash flow. Every cycle starts with 2 weeks free and you can cancel anytime. The Finance add-on is not on sale yet — its price will be announced when it ships.
It uses Gemini Vision OCR and works best on clearly printed count sheets with legible handwriting. Each item shows a confidence indicator (Matched / Partial / No-match) with an editable quantity before anything is applied — you always review before committing. For bulk produce or unlabeled containers, manual entry is faster.
Count fast, prep smart, order exactly what you need, and let the whole team see the same numbers. Free for 2 weeks — no card charged.
