The restaurant back office software behind structured food operations
tSpoonLab connects recipes, purchasing, inventory, production and food cost into one operational layer, built for groups that can't afford inconsistency across locations.
Standardize the gastronomic identity of your group
Your recipes are your brand. When each location adapts them independently, adjusting quantities, swapping ingredients, ignoring yields, your identity drifts and your food cost becomes impossible to manage.
tSpoonLab makes your recipes operational standards. Defined centrally, applied everywhere. With allergens, yields, costs and production instructions built in, so every kitchen works from the same source of truth.
Control margins before they erode
Food cost variance doesn't announce itself. It accumulates, in portions slightly off, in purchases slightly above contract price, in waste that nobody tracks. By the time it shows up in the P&L, the margin is already gone.
tSpoonLab gives you theoretical vs actual food cost per dish, per location, per day. Variance is visible when it happens, not at month-end.
Operations directors stop managing by intuition. They manage by deviation.
Govern supplier impact across the group
Supplier prices change. Delivery quantities drift. Invoice amounts don't always match what was ordered. In a single location, these are manageable. Across 20, they become a structural cost leak.
tSpoonLab connects purchasing to recipes and inventory, so every price change from a supplier immediately shows its impact on your food cost. Purchase orders generated from real consumption. Invoices validated automatically against what was received.
Purchasing stops being reactive. It becomes a governed process with full group visibility.
From store to plate, fully traceable
Every ingredient that enters your operation has a history: supplier, batch, reception date, price paid. Every dish that leaves your kitchen has a cost: real ingredients used, real quantities, real yield.
tSpoonLab connects both ends, so you can trace any ingredient from the delivery note to the plate it was served on. For food safety, for allergen compliance, for cost accuracy.
Full traceability isn't just a compliance requirement. It's the foundation of real food cost control.
The operational layer between sales and finance
Sales data tells you what you sold. Finance data tells you what you spent. tSpoonLab is the layer in between, where food cost, purchasing and inventory connect to give both teams the data they actually need.

Integration is handled primarily through secure file-based protocols (SFTP), with connectors and APIs available for complex environments. The goal is reliability, not novelty.
Operational Modules
Five systems. One operational layer.
Each system addresses a critical layer of food operation management. Together, they form integrated operational infrastructure.
tSpoonFast
The operations app for the floor
tSpoonFast is the execution layer your kitchen team uses during prep and service. Photograph a delivery note and AI extracts items, prices, quantities and lot numbers; capture counts and orders by voice; track waste, transfers and checklists, all flowing straight into the platform.
