Fifty years of this, between two people.
Not a whiteboard idea. One founder has lived the problem. The other knows how to build the answer.
We have both had nothing, and we have both started over. We built Recipe-0 to give the people behind local restaurants a fair shot, and to give back to the communities that kept us fed.
Chef Ron Matty
More than thirty years of ordering from memory, costing plates at midnight, and getting a P&L too late to do anything about it. He knows where a kitchen loses its margin because he has stood there.
"I got into kitchens because I was hungry, and a kitchen was the one place I knew there would be food. I worked my way up beside some of the best and learned what it costs to put out quality every single night. I know what it is to lose everything and rebuild my life in recovery. I am building this for the cooks and owners who are still in the grind."

"I came to this country as a refugee, with nothing but the clothes on my back. I worked my way up through more than twenty years of building technology companies and learned what it takes to make one last. I know what it is to start over from nothing. I am building this for the new owners who are putting everything on the line."
