For private chefs, restaurants and caterers

Run the whole kitchen from one place.


Tamis runs private dining, restaurant service and catering in one workspace. Book an event and send the proposal. Take a table's order and send it to the kitchen display. Pack a catering order and send the driver out. Your recipes, costs, stock and team sit underneath all of it.

Jump to your kind of kitchen

Who it's for

Different work, the same record underneath.

Tamis keeps one record. The menu a host accepted is the menu the kitchen scales. The dish a guest orders at the counter is the ticket on the kitchen screen. The receipt from the market is the food cost when you close the day.

Private chefs

You cook in other people's homes and venues. Take inquiries from your own form, send proposals and contracts by email, and collect deposits online. Each guest tells the kitchen what they cannot eat, and the host follows along in their own portal.

Follow an event step by step

Restaurants

You serve a room, a counter or both. Ring up sales, send orders to the kitchen display and split a check when the table asks. Guests can order pickup or delivery from your own storefront.

Caterers

You cook for a crowd and send it out. Sell packages at a price per guest, cook the same dish for several events in one batch, and send drivers out with packed orders.

Private dining, step by step

One record, from the first inquiry to the last returned crate.

Each step reads from the one before it. Change the guest count, and the prep sheet and the shopping list follow.

  1. 01

    Inquiry

    A branded inquiry form with its own link. Date, guests, occasion and budget land in Inquiries, with a hold on the calendar.

  2. 02

    Proposal

    Build the menu from your recipes and templates, price it from ingredient cost, and email the proposal with its line items.

  3. 03

    Acceptance

    The host accepts, signs the contract and pays the deposit online. A later menu change goes back to the host to approve.

  4. 04

    Guests

    Each guest fills in a private dietary form. The kitchen reviews every answer, and the host sees only who has replied.

  5. 05

    Sourcing

    What to buy adds up from the accepted menu. Order from supplier order guides, or use stock you already hold.

  6. 06

    Prep and pack

    A prep sheet scaled to the guest count, and a pack list for every crate and piece of equipment that goes out.

  7. 07

    Day of

    Day-of mode on a phone shows the timeline and where every pack is. The crew sheet has the venue details and who to call.

  8. 08

    Closeout

    Receipts become food cost, returns go back into stock and waste is logged. The Money tab shows what the event made.

Restaurant and catering service

Take the order, cook it, hand it over, close the day.

Sell at the counter, seat and serve the dining room, and take orders online for pickup or delivery. Every ticket on the kitchen display carries its allergy notes, and cooks open the recipe from the ticket.

In the restaurant

Point of sale

Ring up a counter sale or open a check for a table. Cash shows the change due. Turn on discounts and tips in settings when you want them.

Kitchen display

Each station sees its tickets with a timer and the allergy line in its own box. One tap marks a dish ready, and a cook can recall a ticket or ask for a remake.

Dining room

Seat a party at a table, order by seat, and split or move a check. Keep tabs open, and run your reservations and waitlist on the same screen.

Online storefront

Guests order from your published menu for pickup or delivery, pay online and follow the order on its own page. Pause new orders when the kitchen is full.

Daily close

Staff open and end their shifts at the till. Before you sign off the day, the daily close lists unpaid checks and online orders, shifts still running, open cash drawers and money still owed to a guest.

For catering and delivery

Catering packages

Sell a package at a set price per guest. Hosts see what they have paid and what is still due.

Production

One board gathers the same dish across events and orders, so the kitchen cooks in batches, prints labels and asks for a refill when a tray runs low.

Dispatch

Pack each order against its list, group deliveries into a driver run, and record what happened at the door, including the equipment that came back.

What's inside

The rest of the business, in the same place.

Pipeline and sales

Inquiries, events, proposals, contracts and payments due, on one board and one calendar. Clients can book a call on your scheduling page.

Recipes, menus and costing

Photograph a handwritten recipe and review the draft it becomes. Yields, trim and cooking loss feed the cost of every portion, and menus scale to the guest count.

Inventory and purchasing

Stock levels with minimums and par, counts that save as you go, and waste. Order from supplier guides, and a photo of a receipt becomes stock and cost once you check it.

Logistics

Pack lists, equipment custody and returns, laid out for a phone in the van rather than a laptop in the office.

Team and roles

Invite a sous chef, a server or a driver. Each role sees its own part of the work, and the audit log records every change.

Insights

Money, inquiries, events and the kitchen for any period, next to the one before. Tap a number to open the records behind it.

An assistant that reads your own records

Ask by typing or out loud. It answers from your events, recipes, stock and sales, and shows the records each answer came from. When it drafts a change, such as a purchase order or a scaled recipe, nothing happens until you press Confirm. It never quotes, signs or refunds anything on its own.

The host portal

Your host gets a portal, not a PDF.

The proposal, menu, contract, payments, guest list and messages sit on one page under your name. Hosts accept with a signature, approve menu changes and pass the dietary link to their guests, with no reply-all thread.

  • Your brand and your clients. There is no marketplace, and no lead is ever resold.
  • Guests answer for themselves. Each declaration goes to the kitchen, never to the host.
  • Reminders go out before each deposit and balance is due, and receipts once they are paid.

House rules

Three things we will not do.


Sell your clients

There is no marketplace, no ranking and no resold lead. Your clients and guests stay yours, and an owner can download everything in the workspace as one file.


Promise what the kitchen cannot check

A person reviews every allergy a guest declares, and the review stays on record. The app makes that review hard to skip. It never tells anyone a plate is safe.


Let software decide for you

Prices, contracts, refunds and cancellations are always a person's call. The assistant drafts and reminds. You confirm.

Start with one event, one menu or one night of service.

Set up your workspace, add a recipe and see what a plate costs. The rest can wait until you need it.
