And the chef earns on every plate. Independent chefs build complete dishes in iResto, connected restaurants put them on the menu with one click, and the brigade cooks them step by step from the instruction video. Consistent quality is the product.
iResto was born from that one insight. The chef community is the engine behind it: a chef does not build a menu for one restaurant, but a repertoire for hundreds of kitchens. And is paid like an artist: every time the work is played.
Recipe on the central product catalogue, photos, instruction video per step, allergens and equipment. One click and it is on the menu of a connected restaurant.
The video follows each step. The AI text studio writes the menu description in NL, EN, DE, FR and ES; the chef checks and releases it.
POS data counts the sales, the chef receives royalties and stars every month. Quality is rewarded, mediocrity sinks by itself.
Browse the central library and filter by cuisine, category, tag or chef. Every dish shows its origin: iResto Original or the chef label with title, plus ✦ Signature for showpieces and ★ the market rating.
One click puts the dish in your own Dish Library. Costing, allergens, purchasing, stock, HACCP and the Kitchen App work with it immediately. Only the local selling price is yours; the composition stays centrally secured.
Your brigade cooks from the instruction video, step by step and in their own language, even without an experienced cook on the team.
Once a month iResto asks for zero to five stars per chef dish served, in two minutes. That is how the market decides what rises to the top.

iResto. Not the restaurant. The promise to the restaurant, a minimum 10% purchasing advantage at the wholesaler, remains fully intact.
When a dish is added to the central library, the rights are agreed in advance in a contract, with your explicit consent. Dishes a restaurant builds itself on central products remain that location’s own.
Once a month the restaurants that serve your dish give zero to five stars. The average appears on your profile and next to the dish in the library. That is how the market decides what rises to the top.
Royalties are recorded per month per location and are visible in your payout overview in the Chef Studio. Frequency and invoicing are agreed with you when you sign up.
Yes. New activations of your dishes stop from then on. What happens to dishes already on menus is agreed together in advance.
