Why every kitchen procurement tool fails
Four kitchens. Two countries. Every single one ran procurement on WhatsApp.
Odoo — powerful software built for someone at a desk. Not someone at a pass with wet hands. We set it up. The chefs used it for a week. Then they went back to WhatsApp.
MarketMan — closer, but heavy. The sous chef said it takes longer to log a delivery in the app than to check boxes by hand. He was right.
Spreadsheets — that one Google Sheet everyone half-uses until someone edits the wrong cell on the busiest day of the week.
WhatsApp — fast. Free. Zero accountability. Your procurement history is buried between memes and voice notes.
What would a chef actually use? Something faster than texting. One-tap approvals. Suppliers stay on WhatsApp because that is where they already are. Everything tracked without anyone feeling like they are doing data entry.
That is what I am building.
