Simple. Easy-to-use. Efficient. For chefs at a foodservice operation with a single profit center seeking recipe costing software with physical inventory taking, this is the product for you. It couldn't get any easier. However, if you have multiple profit centers and need additional functionality, such as perpetual inventory, par levels, ordering options, or network capabilities, then please take a look at the other ChefTec or CorTec products.

ChefTec Basic comes with:

• 1900 pre-loaded inventory items.
• Physical inventory extension taking.
• Recipe and menu costing.
• Basic nutritional analysis.
• Manual purchasing and ordering.

Over the course of 16 years, ChefTec has lead to our long-term solvency and enabled us to keep our doors open, even through the roughest economic times. We are happy about that!
