About CaterCTRL

Built by a chef, for chefs.

CaterCTRL exists because professional kitchens still spend a significant part of every week managing paperwork, spreadsheets and disconnected systems — time that should be spent on food and on the team.

It was designed from real kitchen experience: the temperature checks that get missed on a busy Friday, the costing spreadsheet nobody dares update, the allergen matrix that is always one menu change behind. CaterCTRL brings those jobs into one system that works at the speed of service.

The aim is simple — safer kitchens, healthier margins and chefs back in control of their time.

“I was tired of coffee-covered clipboards and never being able to find a pen that worked. That’s where the idea for CaterCTRL started.”

Founder of CaterCTRL · Chef & Caterer

Working in professional kitchens, I could see how much of a chef’s time was still being swallowed up by paperwork, spreadsheets and systems that didn’t talk to each other.

What started as a way to get kitchen paperwork off the clipboard has grown into CaterCTRL — one place for food safety, allergens, suppliers, recipes, costing and the day-to-day management of a professional kitchen.

I’m building the system I wanted to have as a chef.

How we work

Built from the pass

Every workflow in CaterCTRL is shaped by real professional kitchen experience — the pace, the pressure and the standards of service.

Honest by default

We show what is live today and label what is still coming. No inflated claims, no invented numbers, no feature theatre.

On the kitchen’s side

Pricing that does not punish you for giving your team access, and onboarding that leaves you with a working system — not homework.
