CULINARY OPERATING SYSTEM

Chefs cook. K'AI does the paperwork.

Built by a chef with 22 years in NYC kitchens. It reads your invoices, costs your recipes, and keeps your records in order.

What it does
01

Records

Scan permits, certificates, seafood tags, and pest control records. K'AI reads them, tracks expiration dates, and warns you before they lapse. Temperature logs and corrective actions live in the same system.

02

Costing

Vendor invoices are scanned into line items. Recipes cost themselves from real invoice prices, with unit conversions and version history. Price changes surface as they happen.

03

Vendors

A living record of what you buy and what it costs. Order sheets, price trends, and duplicate detection across vendors.

04

Audit packet

When an inspector comes, K'AI assembles what you have on file into a single document — organized, dated, and printable.

It organizes what you already have, and tells you what is missing.

K'AI does not replace your physical paperwork, does not submit anything to any agency, and does not render legal conclusions.

Rakmin Lee, executive chef and founder of K'AI

The chef behind K'AI

Rakmin Lee is an executive chef with 22 years in luxury hospitality, including Four Seasons, Park Hyatt, and The Benjamin Royal Sonesta New York. He built K'AI because the administrative work of a kitchen kept pulling him away from the line.

K'AI is not meant to replace judgment. It handles the paperwork, the numbers, and the records, so a chef's time goes back to cooking.
