Good Web Guide Awards
We’re delighted to announce that for the second year running, Kitchen CUT has been shortlisted for the Website of the Year 2014 in the Good Web Guide Awards.
The Good Web Guide is the online guide to the best sites on the internet. Their aim is to get websites to raise the bar, when it comes to both design and usability and the Good Web Guide Awards recognise those sites that do it well.
Kitchen CUT is the leading online recipe costing and price monitoring system for hospitality professionals that is making a big impact in the industry. The system is an easy-to-use, online tool that gives restaurants, hotels, cafes and caterers clarity, accuracy, consistency and ease of managing the financial aspects of their kitchen.
It helps hospitality professionals who struggle to manage their margins and don’t have time to control costs. The system helps them to maximise profit and efficiency, minimise admin, and deliver a consistent product by using this intuitive, online tool—which typically delivers a food cost saving of 3%. The key point of difference that chefs continually praise the system for, is its clean and simple interface – changing what has historically been a lengthy process using excel based systems.
To fully understand what makes Kitchen CUT so unique in the market, it’s important to understand the person behind the system – Co-Founder John Wood. Kitchen CUT is a platform to channel John’s 30 years of award-winning experience in the industry to create the only user-friendly, recipe-costing system on the market designed by chefs, for chefs and its his knowledge from his extensive career that is the real difference between Kitchen CUT and other systems.
