Food & Beverage
It’s a new era for chefs… Calculators and pads of paper are a thing of the past.

Some are simple; others more complex. Basic sheets with formulas for costing, robust workbooks to determine how much to prep for large buffets and events… even the ability to forecast how much each guest will eat from a buffet.
