Restaurants operate like projects every service — but most kitchens rely on tacit knowledge, whiteboards, and shouting across the pass. Brigado changes that.

What Brigado does
STRUCTURED EXECUTION
FOR THE BRIGADE
01
⬡
Work breakdown structure
Every menu item broken into tasks, grouped by station and role. No ambiguity about who preps what.
02
◈
Prep timeline
Gantt-style schedule with critical path highlighting. Know what needs to happen by when — and what can't slip.
03
◎
Brigade role assignment
Tasks assigned using RACI logic. Each cook sees only their station. Accountable up, responsible down.
04
⚑
Risk detection
Short staffing, late deliveries, station overload — flagged before service with suggested mitigations.
05
◻
Station checklists
Cooks check off tasks on their phone. Flag problems, add voice memos, receive chef instructions live.
06
◉
Readiness dashboard
Chef sees prep %, critical tasks remaining, and open risks — all before the first ticket prints.
07
◬
Supplier ordering
Order directly from suppliers by voice or tap. Track delivery status and order history in one place.
08
⊘
Waste log
Log and categorise waste in seconds. Track costs, spot patterns, and cut waste week on week.
09
◑
PMI reports
Project Management Institute principles applied to every service. Schedule performance, risk register, lessons learned.
Workflow
THREE STEPS TO SERVICE READY
01
Chef describes the service
Speak or type a natural description — covers, menu items, staffing, delivery times. Brigado understands kitchen language.
Voice input supported
02
Brigado generates the plan
AI applies PMI project management logic to produce a full service plan: WBS, timeline, assignments, and risk flags — in seconds.
Powered by AI reasoning
03
Brigade executes with clarity
Each cook sees their station checklist. The chef tracks readiness live. Everyone knows what's done, what's late, and what's at risk.

About Cadre

We're building the operating system for hospitality — starting in the kitchen.

Cadre is a product company applying AI and structured project management to industries that have never had the right tools. Hospitality is first. Every restaurant runs like a project, every shift like a sprint — but the tools haven't caught up. We're changing that, one product at a time.

Brigado is our first product. It won't be our last.
