CAFÉ Talks Episode 82

It’s a brave new world where what was once comfortable is now unpredictable. So many of the models of prediction that we used in restaurants and in culinary education no longer work or work as well. The need for a great restaurant experience and the demand for qualified cooks and chefs has rarely been better, yet addressing needs, making decisions, and solving problems seems impossible at times.

Chefs need the right tools in a changing marketplace – tools designed to function well in a less predictable environment. Tools that can help a chef with concept development, menu design, recipe execution, purchasing, cost controls, marketing, and responding to guest needs. These tools may be different and will require that chefs are willing to change many of their routines, yet these tools will help to make a chef’s life and efficiency significantly better.

Join CAFÉ Talks Podcast for a chat with Benji Koltai, CEO and Co-Founder of Galley Solutions – a software company focused on improving the life of a chef, enhancing the efficiency of food businesses, and helping everyone embrace change.
