Trust from the first label

Every label is standardized with product, prep date, expiry, lot, operator and allergens.
The problems
What is costing your kitchen time and money.
Every kitchen that labels by hand feels the same six problems. You will recognize all of them.
Time-consuming manual labeling
Staff spend up to 2 hours daily handwriting labels, calculating dates, and managing allergen information.
Compliance risks & fines
Missing allergen info, incorrect dates or illegible handwriting can lead to fines, legal action and reputation damage.
Staff training & turnover
New staff need weeks to learn proper labeling procedures, and mistakes are common during busy periods.
Inconsistent quality & waste
Poor labeling leads to food waste, customer complaints, and potential health risks from expired items.
No standardized allergen labelling
Pen-and-tape labels don’t flag allergens consistently, leaving your kitchen exposed to mistakes and penalties.
Internet & desktop dependency
When the Wi-Fi drops or the workstation freezes, the kitchen stops. No connection means no labels — and slower service.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to buy a printer?
Yes. EtiquetaChef works with Bluetooth Classic thermal printers compatible with the ESC/POS, ZPL or TSPL standards.
Which printers are supported?
EtiquetaChef supports Bluetooth thermal printers compatible with the ESC/POS, ZPL and TSPL standards. Compatibility may vary depending on the printer model, the operating system in use and the label size. Before deployment, we recommend validating your printer model to ensure the best fit with your labelling workflow.
What label sizes are supported?
The system supports labels of any size. The available size depends on the printer in use and the label formats it supports.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The Android app creates and prints labels offline and syncs to the cloud as soon as the connection returns — useful for kitchens with flaky signal. The web dashboard requires internet.
Can I import products from a spreadsheet?
Yes. You can import your catalog from a spreadsheet (CSV/XLSX) and create many products at once — or add them one by one in the dashboard.
Does it work for bakeries, restaurants and delivery kitchens?
Yes. Layouts and expiration rules are configured per segment. Bakeries use state-based expiration (raw/baked); delivery kitchens get per-brand isolation.
What does the QR code show?
The QR code identifies the label for in-app verification and check-out (internal traceability). A public QR landing page is on the roadmap.
Can my team print without changing recipes?
Yes. Operators only print; managers and owners edit ingredients or rules. Role-based permissions audited in the log.
How do lot tracking and recall work?
Each batch gets a unique ID printed on the label and stored in the history with date, product and operator. Search by lot in the dashboard is on the roadmap.
Does EtiquetaChef generate a nutrition table?
Not today. The focus is expiry, allergen, lot and traceability labels. Nutrition information is the responsibility of your food-safety lead — automatic nutrition calculation is not part of the product.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No long-term contract: you can cancel anytime, no commitment. After cancellation, your monthly or annual subscription will not renew automatically.
Which countries are supported?
We are available in Brazil, Mexico and the United States today, with more Latin American countries on the way. The platform is multi-language and adapts to local labelling needs. Europe is on our roadmap.
