Cide Kic - Digital Kitchen Software

The private club industry runs on people, processes, and information — and for too long, all three have been managed through the Executive Chef, disconnected spreadsheets, paper checklists, and institutional knowledge that walks out the door when an employee does. Cide Kic changes that. It is a unified AI-powered workspace platform purpose-built for hospitality teams, bringing the full operational picture into a single ecosystem where everything connects, and everyone works from the same information in real time. 

For organizations navigating an Executive Chef search or interim leadership transition, this is particularly valuable — Cide Kic ensures that recipes, production workflows, vendor relationships, and team protocols are documented and accessible the moment a new leader steps in, eliminating the costly restart that typically follows a key departure.

Key Capabilities Include:

• Recipe & Menu Management — develop, cost, scale, and store recipes with AI-assisted suggestions and allergen tracking built in
• Production & Inventory Planning — forecast demand, reduce waste, and coordinate team workflows with real-time operational data
• Knowledge Retention Through Leadership Transitions — operational standards stay in the platform when an Executive Chef exits, giving an interim or incoming leader an immediate foundation to build on
• Automated Reporting — daily and weekly performance summaries generated automatically, so interim leadership can assess the operation quickly and make informed decisions from day one

Are you ready for COMPLETE Transparency into your Culinary Department

Armstrong Consulting places experienced interim Executive Chefs who can step into an operation and lead effectively while a permanent search is underway. Pairing that placement with Cide Kic means the interim leader isn't starting from a blank page — and the incoming permanent hire inherits a fully documented, organized operation rather than a collection of institutional memory that left with their predecessor. Whether the goal is stabilizing a kitchen through a transition, elevating operational standards before a search begins, or ensuring continuity on both sides of a placement, Armstrong Consulting and Cide Kic deliver a complete solution.
