The Future of Kitchens Isn’t AI. It’s Better Systems | Yago Ferretti Gonzalez

Restaurants don’t have a chef problem. They have a systems problem.

In this episode of Fugitive Chefs, I sit down with entrepreneur and former chef Yago Ferretti Gonzalez, founder of FoodWeb, to explore what happens when chefs stop accepting broken systems and start building better ones.

After working in professional kitchens, Yago realised that many of the pressures chefs face aren’t inevitable. They’re the result of outdated systems, poor communication, and inefficient operations.

Instead of opening another restaurant, he decided to build technology designed specifically for chefs.

In this conversation we discuss:

• Why some of the world’s best chefs are still underpaid
• Why leadership matters more than technology
• How AI could transform restaurant operations
• Why chefs should spend less time managing chaos and more time creating
• Building a food technology startup through Lanzadera
• The future role of chefs in an AI-powered industry

Whether you’re a chef, restaurant owner, food entrepreneur, or simply curious about where hospitality is heading, this episode offers a different perspective on what the next generation of kitchens could look like.
