A Chef on a Mission CTB AND CO. founder, Andrew Briese, began his career as a chef and later completed a Bachelor of Business in Catering & Hotel Management. After working in the hospitality industry for over 30 years, Andrew recognised a major gap: a lack of digital applications to help hospitality venues build strong business structures and manage their finances. His own early struggles with numbers led him to transform from head chef to business innovator and tech entrepreneur. Drawing from a chef’s perspective, Andrew developed solutions and tools specifically designed to meet the real-world needs of chefs and business owners, empowering them to succeed. Today, Cooking the Books (CTB) — our flagship kitchen management software — stands as the #1 solution for hospitality operations. It was crafted to tackle industry challenges head-on, offering streamlined workflows along with complete financial and operational transparency. As CTB’s success soared, Andrew and his team expanded their offerings, designing a suite of management solutions not only for food and beverage businesses but also for the healthcare, hospitality, and retail industries. In recognition of its impact and growth, CTB AND CO. was acquired by Quantaco six months ago, marking an exciting new chapter for the platform and its clients. At CTB AND CO., we believe in staying hands-on. Andrew and the team work closely with clients, visiting them on-site to understand the unique heartbeat of each business. We tailor our systems to fit venues of any size, offering dedicated support from start to finish — and every step along the way. Take a look and trail for free for 30 days at www.ctbandco.com.
