Mise AI

Inspiration

I’m Chef Kuba, founder of P!NCH, a plant-based café in London. After 16 years in professional kitchens, I realised chefs spend too much time on paperwork, costing, allergens, stock management and administration instead of cooking. I wanted to build an AI assistant created by a chef, for chefs.

What it does

Mise AI helps chefs create recipes, calculate food costs, manage allergens, scale recipes, reduce waste and organise kitchen operations in one simple platform. It acts as an AI sous-chef that supports better decisions, saves time and improves profitability.

How I built it

I built Mise AI using OpenAI Codex together with Next.js, React and TypeScript. As someone without a traditional software engineering background, I combined my hospitality experience with AI-assisted development to turn years of kitchen knowledge into a working application.

Challenges

The biggest challenge was transforming real kitchen workflows into software. Every feature had to solve a genuine problem that chefs face every day while keeping the interface simple and practical.

What’s next

This is only the beginning. My vision is for Mise AI to become the everyday operating system for professional kitchens around the world, helping independent chefs and restaurants save time, reduce waste and run more sustainable, profitable businesses.
