The system
Your kitchen's operating system
yKOS codifies your recipes, executes them on yONE or yMini, and gives you data on every batch.
Three layers
Your recipes as executable programs. Every ingredient, temperature and timing captured.
yONE and yMini run the programs. Automated dispensing. Helper presses start.
v1: remote monitoring, batch logging. Roadmap: cost analytics, wastage tracking, inventory integration.
Base paste workflow
Step 1 — yKOS + Machine
Base paste / gravy base
The flavour foundation, fully automated.
Step 2 — Your team
Finishing
Adding protein, final seasoning, plating.
Compared
Three ways to make a base.
| Your cook | Frozen paste supply | yKOS + yONE | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily reality | Depends on attendance | Depends on supplier | Runs every service |
| Consistency | Varies by person and day | Consistent, not yours | Identical, your recipe |
| Freshness | Fresh | Frozen | Fresh, cooked on site |
| Recipe control | In one person's head | Supplier's recipe | Yours, codified |
| Flexibility | High, unpredictable | Low, months to change | Change a parameter |
| Scaling | Hire and train | Order more | Add a machine |
| CAPEX | None | None | Machine purchase |
| OPEX | Skilled salary | Premium per kg | Helper salary + inputs |
