Guillaume Zika is the chef-turned-developer behind Chef Notepad, the app designed to make a chef’s life simpler — no small feat in a world of recipes, margins, and chaos.

In this episode, Guillaume shares how he built a powerful, intuitive tool that takes the complexity of menu planning, costing, and organisation, and turns it into something chefs actually want to use. We dig into why chefs notoriously hate doing costings, how tech can truly serve the kitchen, and what it takes to build an app that feels effortless — even when it’s anything but.
