I write every KitchenFounder guide myself, between shifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStraight answer on the founding rate: I need the first hundred operators to build this around. In exchange for the price, I'm asking for one thing — tell me what's broken. What guide you needed and couldn't find. What the costing workbook doesn't do. What you'd actually pay more for.
