FLUX · kitchen operations software

The kitchen's paperwork, done in a few taps.

FLUX is one app for New Zealand cafés, restaurants and hotels: food-safety records, recipe costing, rosters and wages — on a phone in the kitchen, on a laptop in the office. No training, no login to fail at 6 am.

What FLUX does

Four jobs every kitchen has. One app, already filled in.

FLUX comes with an example business so you can see how it works in five minutes, then clear it and add your own.

The Today page: things to fix, checks to record, and a run sheet for the day

Today

Opens on what needs doing now: the late checks, the temperature that was out of range, who is on shift. One sentence, then the list.

For the chef on the pass · the manager opening up
FLUX on a phone: the Food Safety Record Book, logging a fridge temperature

Food Safety Record Book

Fridge and freezer temperatures, deliveries, cooking, cleaning, incidents. Logged on a phone with wet hands, kept in the shape a verifier expects.

Aligned to MPI Simply Safe & Suitable · prints a Verifier Pack
The Roster page: a week of shifts by person and day, with leave and days off

Roster & payroll

Paint a week of shifts, see the labour cost as you go, and get a payslip estimate for each person. Leave is recorded the NZ way.

For the owner · the manager · the team on their phones
The Savings page: roster gaps and recipes over their food-cost target, with suggested fixes

Costing & savings

Every recipe costed from what you actually pay. FLUX watches the menu and the roster and says, in plain words, where the money is going.

Food cost · labour % · GST set aside
How we build

Three things we don't compromise on.

Private by default

FLUX runs on your own devices and keeps your records with you. Nothing leaves the building unless you back it up somewhere you choose.

Made for the trade

Big buttons, plain words, no decoration that costs a tap when the kitchen is slammed. Kitchen mode makes everything larger.

Built to New Zealand rules

Food safety, employment, leave and GST the way they work here — not an overseas product with a NZ flag on it.

Plans

Sold by the size of your kitchen.

Each plan is the same app with the pages your business needs. A page you have not bought is simply not there.
