AI can't taste, and that is the point
Cooking stays human work. AI is for the structure — the part chefs would rather not do by hand.

AI cannot taste. That single fact is why cooking is, and will stay, human work.
A model can read a recipe and a price list. It cannot tell you whether the sauce is right, whether the seasoning landed, or whether a dish is worth serving. That judgment belongs to the chef.
What AI is actually good at
AI is good at structure. Sorting, matching, and keeping things consistent — the exact parts of kitchen management that most chefs would rather not do by hand.
One place for the numbers
That is the whole idea behind Fraîche: the chef does the tasting, and the numbers look after themselves. Upload the invoices, the recipes and the menu, and Fraîche does the rest. Then just a quick check.
