BOH Wiz is the only restaurant prep-list app that talks directly to a thermal label printer at your prep station. Your team taps an item, the label prints. No second app. No double-typing the product name. No monthly subscription, ever.
It's food labeling software and a food label printer in one, for a single kitchen or every location in a group.
The restaurant labeling market is split into two camps that never talk to each other.
Software companies (Ecolab Flex and the subscription prep-list apps) sell prep-list and labeling software. Label companies (DayMark, NCCO) sell rolls of dissolvable labels. Neither side builds the bridge: the prep list lives in one place, the label printer lives somewhere else, and a cook stands in front of both with a Sharpie.
BOH Wiz built both halves and made them talk. That's the whole product. That's why the line on the homepage says "the only prep list that prints itself."
From prep list to label in one tap. Three screens.
Open the BOH Wiz app on the kitchen tablet. Today's prep list is already there (items, quantities, who's responsible), synced from the central recipe database.
"Pico de gallo, 6 qt, prep done." Single tap. The app already knows the prep time, the chef, the recipe, and the shelf life. Nothing to type.
Bluetooth-paired Zebra ZD411 at the prep station spits out a clean, machine-printed label with product, time, prepping chef, and use-by date. Stick it on the deli quart. Move on.
Every printed label gets logged in the app. The day before its use-by date hits, the team gets a notification. FIFO without anyone climbing through the cooler with a flashlight.
The single most expensive thing on most labeling-system websites is the word "monthly."

Labels are a separate consumable on both sides. Call that a wash. The number that actually matters is the recurring software fee. Ours is zero.
Most "prep and print" systems just print labels. They don't tell you what to prep. They don't track shelf life across the walk-in. They don't do the par-vs-on-hand math. They don't add up the labor hours. BOH Wiz does. Then it prints the label.

One location, no IT department. You want the printer to work, the labels to print, and to never see a renewal email. That's us.
From a few stores to hundreds: one account, one dashboard, the same labels in every kitchen, and user roles for each location. Already running in Dave & Buster's, Chuy's, Biaggi's, Ancho & Agave and Subway franchise kitchens. See how it works for groups.
No subscription and no contract. You pay once for the printer and buy labels when you need them, whether you run one kitchen or fifty.
Subscription prep-list apps run about $10/month, ongoing. BOH Wiz is one-time $299 with no software fee. After 30 months, you've spent more on the subscription than on a BOH Wiz printer. After 5 years, twice as much. The functionality is comparable; the recurring cost isn't.
Ecolab Flex is built for enterprise QSR chains and priced like it. BOH Wiz is built for independents and small chains and priced like that. Different products for different markets.
No. The BOH Wiz app runs on any iPad, iPhone, or Android tablet you already own. Most kitchens already have a tablet at the prep station. You just install the app.
1-year warranty on the Zebra. After the warranty, Zebra ZD411s are widely available; you're not locked into our hardware.
