How frustration with spreadsheets led us to create the kitchen management tool we always wished we had
As co-founder of Mange Tout with over 25 years in hospitality, Tara's frustration with managing kitchen operations across multiple locations led to innovation. While running a €3.5 million business with 1,000 recipes and 80 staff, she discovered they were overspending by €76,000 annually on ingredients. This pain point inspired Tara to collaborate with her family to transform their internal Excel solution into Prepsheets.com. Drawing from her hands-on experience, Tara designed a system that truly understands how chefs work, earning industry recognition for her practical approach to solving real kitchen challenges.
Brian's journey from chef to restaurant owner to software innovator began with spreadsheets. After decades running kitchens, Brian grew increasingly frustrated with the limitations of Excel for recipe management, portion control, and allergen tracking. Working alongside his wife Tara and son Richard, he helped translate 25 years of kitchen expertise into Prepsheets.com, creating the tool he always wished he had. Brian's practical knowledge ensured the platform was built by chefs, for chefs, with a clear focus on reducing food waste, maintaining margins, and simplifying compliance - solving the exact problems that once cost his own business thousands.
