Kitchen Control's actual allergen matrix, generated automatically, shown on a tablet in a professional kitchen

The allergen matrix, generated automatically from your live recipe data.

Sound familiar?

The back of house headaches
every kitchen knows

Allergen sheets on scraps of paper

Handwritten, out of date, impossible to share with staff. One change to a recipe means rewriting everything.

Recipe costs calculated on receipts

You know your food costs are too high but working out where is a full afternoon's job. GP% calculated on guesswork.

Invoice data entered by hand

Every delivery brings another stack of invoices to type up. Prices change and your recipe costs are instantly wrong.

Software that costs more than a commis

Enterprise kitchen systems charge £100-500/month. Designed for restaurant groups, not independent kitchens.

What Kitchen Control does

Everything your kitchen needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

Built around how professional kitchens actually work — not how software companies think they do.

Allergen Management

Kitchen Control's allergen management software scans ingredient labels with your phone. Allergens are captured automatically and flow through every recipe, dish and menu. Full compliance with the Food Information Regulations 2014.

Live Recipe Costing

Every recipe shows live cost price and GP%. Scan a supplier invoice and ingredient prices update automatically across every recipe that uses them.

AI Invoice Scanning

Photograph a delivery invoice and Kitchen Control reads it — extracting every line item, updating costs and adding new suppliers automatically.

Recipe Import

Photograph a page from your recipe book — handwritten or printed — and Kitchen Control reads it. Ingredients are matched to your stock automatically, and anything it can't find is flagged clearly rather than guessed.

Food Label Printing

Print an allergen and use-by label for any ingredient, prepped item or recipe in seconds — allergens pulled automatically, shelf life calculated for you. Works with a standard Brother QL label printer.

PPDS Labelling — Natasha's Law

For dishes made up and sold prepacked, Kitchen Control generates a full PPDS label — ingredients in descending order with allergens emphasised, straight from the recipe already in the system. How it works →

Yield Tracking

Record true yield after trimming and cooking. Your recipe costs reflect what actually goes on the plate, not what comes off the delivery truck.

Order List Generation

Build menus, set covers and Kitchen Control generates your order list automatically. No more working backwards from a menu at midnight.

Multi-User & Real-Time

Your whole team works from the same data in real time. Role-based permissions mean everyone sees exactly what they need to.

Bring Your Data With You

Switching from another system? Import your ingredients, yields, recipes and dishes from a spreadsheet — matched automatically, nothing re-typed. Export everything back out at any time, no questions asked. How it works →

See it in action

Real screens. Real kitchen data.

This is the actual product — not mock-ups. The same screens your team will use on the pass, in the office and on the go.

Why Kitchen Control exists

"I didn't start with a software idea.
I started with a kitchen problem."

Thirty-two years in professional kitchens, and it was always the same story — an allergen sheet handwritten on a scrap of paper, three menu changes out of date by the time anyone actually read it. Recipe costs worked out on the back of an invoice at midnight, because there was never time to do it properly during service.

Every system I looked at was either built for restaurant groups with a head office and a budget to match, or a spreadsheet held together with hope. Nothing was built for a kitchen like mine.

So I built it myself. Kitchen Control exists because I needed it — not because it looked good in a demo. Every feature is something I actually wanted on the pass, not in a boardroom.
