The knowledge system for professional kitchens
Most kitchens run on memory. That works until it doesn’t — a key chef leaves, a supplier changes their prices, service depends on whoever showed up today. Kihon is a knowledge system for professional kitchens — structured recipes, real-time costing, and service workflows that stay in the building.

From recipe to service, every layer covered
Built by a chef. For chefs.
Recipe & component library
One place for every recipe, component, and ingredient. Change a sub-recipe once — every dish that uses it updates automatically. No more drift.
Real-time food costing
Costs tracked to the gram. Dish margins update the moment supplier prices change — not at the end of the month when it's too late to act.
Mise en place workflows
Turn recipes into service workflows. Every station knows what to prep, how much, and in what order — without the verbal handoff.
Supplier management
All supplier SKUs, purchase units, and pricing in one place. Compare costs across vendors. Switch when the numbers justify it.
“Kihon gave us a single place to manage every recipe across three kitchens. Our prep time dropped and margins finally make sense.”
“The costing module alone paid for itself in the first month. We found 12% waste we didn't even know existed.”
Your mise en place shouldn’t depend on who’s working tonight.
Join kitchens already using Kihon to protect their margins and keep their knowledge in the building.
