For the casual cook preparing a meal, a recipe serves as a guide to making a dish. For a chef, recipes are valuable intellectual property that has a significant impact not only on a restaurant's product (food) but also on its operations.  There’s been no way to effectively manage recipes for culinary professionals until now.  meez is a digital recipe management platform founded by a chef that extends beyond ingredients and instructions.  By digitizing the recipe book, chefs for the first time are able to effectively manage staff training, costing, nutritional data, ideation, and execution across multiple kitchens and markets.  The platform is already deployed in 1200 kitchens nationwide and in a variety of settings – fine dining, fast casual, ghost kitchens, and catering businesses.  Chefs are able to granularly understand how granular recipe choices are impacting the bottom line, something that’s not practical with traditional restaurant management platforms. Meez is available on a freemium basis with the premium package costing $79 per month.
