Speaker Profile

CTB AND CO. founder Andrew Briese, trained as a chef and completed a Bachelor of Business in Catering & Hotel Management. Working in the hospitality industry for over 30 years, Andrew realised there was a lack of digital applications to assist hospitality venues in developing their business structures and finances.

His struggle with numbers turned him from head chef to business innovator and tech entrepreneur. He developed solutions and tools from a chef's perspective, knowing what a chef or business owner needs in order to succeed.

Our #1 in kitchen management software, Cooking the Books (CTB) was developed to help solve these industry challenges and provide a streamlined workflow with complete financial and operational transparency.

As the CTB platform boomed, an array of other management solutions were built like Drinking the Profits, Invoice Ripper and Sticky Dates. To help not only for food and beverage but for the healthcare, hospitality and retail industries.

Andrew and his team work closely with their clients, visiting them on-site and getting to know the ins and outs of their business. CTB AND CO. structure their system to suit any sized venue, with support from start to finish and along the way.
