Hey Reader,

Chefs - What's in Your Tech Stack?

Listeners of the pod will know that we're in development mode of Repertoire's next offering: Chef Tech Stack πŸ‘€

Despite making content on restaurant tech and how it's improving, covering stories every week on new launches, and working 1:1 with you folks in coaching sessions, it still doesn't feel like enough.

Not only is the pace moving exponentially faster, but just hearing about a tool/plug-in/software/workflow/integration is very different from actually using it in your day-to-day.

On top of that, we're using a lot of AI ourselves and experiencing (what often feels like) magic in what we're able to leverage in our output.

The goal is very similar to the early days of Total Station Domination: work closely with a cohort of "alpha" individuals, to both deliver results and develop this thing alongside you and your context.

We're aiming for 5 more chefs/operators to jam on a quick 15 minute call - instructions on how to put your hand up at the bottom of this email!

Do You Use 3+ Tech Tools at Work?

If yes, I want to hear from you! As I shared, I'm building an early group of "alpha" testers to help develop Repertoire's next offering: Chef Tech Stack.

Expect workshops on new tools, time-saving workflow optimizations, and real ways to leverage the best technology to achieve greater levels of performance and output in your work.

If you're already using 3+ softwares, AI agents, or digital tools, reply "TECH" to this email and I want to get your thoughts for 15 minutes!

"...we want to be paid reasonably because we are pretty good at what we do. It’s a bit selfish really, but I’d rather say it straight than give you a song and dance about a higher purpose…." -Magnus Nilsson (and team at Furuhem - we covered on the pod, too!)​
