About PrepPilot
PrepPilot is a free chef-built beta and portfolio prototype by chef Daniel Macharia. It helps chefs and small restaurant teams cost recipes, watch inventory and expiry dates, and plan daily prep — without spreadsheets. The public sample kitchen uses fictional data; signed-in kitchens start empty and save online.
Full limitations
- Portfolio prototype, not a production-certified system. Sample prices and dates are illustrative.
- Tour changes reset on reload. Real kitchens require sign-in, save online and start empty.
- USD costs cover ingredients only (adjusted for entered yield). Labour, overhead, taxes and other unentered expenses are excluded. Gross profit is not net profit.
- Prep requirements and shortages are estimates, not stock deductions. Only compatible units are combined.
- The public Ask guide is rule-based, not AI. The signed-in assistant is in beta and has fair use limits per person and kitchen. Availability depends on the included allowance; continued AI use may require paid usage.
- Expiry dates do not establish food safety. Verify labels, allergens and your kitchen’s safety procedures.
- No supplier feeds, invoice imports, payments, offline sync or multi-currency support. Cloud availability depends on usage allowances.
