A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes training & competency. Aimed at restaurants kitchen teams, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Restaurants Competency Tracker is a retrieval engine aimed at restaurants kitchen leads, covering training & competency. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (93) and held back by open field (52). Typical pricing is $3.3k–$70k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $12k–$33k.
Restaurants teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. In most restaurants businesses this job has never had software written for it. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to training & competency alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Retrieval over private documents became cheap enough to run per query. Restaurants is growing at roughly 13% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
