Everyone else built spreadsheets with a UI on top. We built a real product for the way chefs work.

Built for you, not a chain

Studio is built for one chef, not a restaurant group.

Meez, Restaurant365, Caterease — every one of them was built for kitchens with a procurement department, a GM, an accountant, and 30 line cooks. Studio is built for the chef in their truck driving to the farmers market with one sous and a phone. Everything else has to compromise that primary user. We don't.

You are not their target customer. You are ours.

Free forever

Studio is free for SERVD chefs. Forever.

No competitor does this. Meez is $199/mo. Restaurant365 is $469/mo per location. Even the bottom-feeders charge $99–$129/mo. We make our money on the marketplace, so Studio costs SERVD chefs zero. That's a $1,200–$5,600/yr hard delta in your pocket on day one.

You save $2,388/yr vs Meez. Day one.

AI does the boring work

Paste a recipe. Drop a PDF. Snap a photo. Done.

Studio extracts every ingredient, quantity, and the most likely match in your pricebook. Meez makes you type. Reciprofity makes you type. We are the only platform where importing a 6-course menu is 90 seconds, not 90 minutes.

Client-facing proposals

Mint a branded proposal in 30 seconds. Client taps "I'm in."

Studio mints a branded proposal with your logo, your brand color, multi-tier pricing, and one tap for the client to confirm. The booking is created the moment they accept. Meez has zero client-facing surface. Caterease has client surfaces, but they look like 2007. Ours feels like Apple wrote it.

Mobile-first and offline

Studio installs as a real app. Works without signal.

Shopping list works offline at the farmers market. Prep checklist works on a wet phone in a hot kitchen. Every competitor is a desktop-first webapp — Restaurant365 literally requires Citrix in some shops.

Real-time + market intelligence

Your numbers update in real time. Market refreshes weekly.

When a vendor bumps burrata to $14/lb, every dish using burrata re-costs the moment you save the change. Across the SERVD chef network we aggregate market medians so you can see "you're paying 12% over market on shallots" without anyone sharing data with anyone else. No competitor does the network effect.

Everything included

Built-in everything most competitors charge extra for.

Mise en place builder. Activity feed. Audit log. Multi-vendor sourcing profile. AI Q&A about your own data ("which dish dropped margin last quarter?"). CSV export. Public REST API on Enterprise. Meez charges $50–$100/mo more for half of these or does not have them at all.

Designed for the way you actually work

Pricing, proposals, prep, and shopping. In your apron pocket.

Studio is not five tools awkwardly stapled together. It is one product, designed end-to-end for the way independent chefs run a business — quote a gig, cost the menu, prep the mise, shop the list, get paid. No tab-juggling. No CSV bridges. No copy-paste.
