Inventory, menus, and recipes — one place your kitchen keeps current.
Helm Shift gives your team one easy place to flag what's low, run a weekly stock check, and store every menu item and recipe. Staff report from their phone, the manager gets notified, and the AI assistant organizes your supplier cart — built for independent restaurants, from $99 CAD/month.
Inventory managed by memory costs you money.
In most independent kitchens, the count lives in someone's head or on a clipboard. You find out you're out of Atlantic salmon when the order's already in the window — or you over-order and watch it spoil. Either way it lands on a margin that's already thin.
Helm Shift gives your team an easy way to keep it honest. Staff flag what's low or critical right from their phone, a weekly stock-check walks them through everything, and the AI assistant turns what's flagged into an organized supplier cart. It's restaurant inventory built for an owner-operator, not a regional chain.
One source of truth for the kitchen.
Honest counts, without the clipboard.
We load your kitchen
During onboarding we import your inventory items, menu items, recipes, and suppliers — so it reflects your real kitchen from day one.
Staff flag what's low
Anyone can mark an item low or critical from their phone — by text, voice, or photo. The manager is notified right away.
Or run the weekly stock check
A guided checklist walks a staff member through every item; they confirm what's on hand or report it by text, voice, or photo.
The AI builds the order
Flagged items become a supplier cart grouped by vendor — review and send. Over time the assistant learns your patterns to make it faster.
The features chains pay thousands for.
No more 86'd surprises
When your staff flag an item low, you reorder before it runs out — not when a guest orders the dish you're out of.
Menus & recipes, too
One home for inventory, menu items, and every recipe — so the kitchen runs from a single source, not scattered binders.
One login with scheduling
Inventory, scheduling, and the AI assistant share one account — no extra tools, no extra bill.
