# About Qubi: the chef who wrote it, the company and the mission

Qubi was designed by a chef, Arcangelo Gioia, after twenty years in kitchens. Who builds it, where the company is based, where your data lives and what the press has written.

## Our story, mission and way of working

Qubi Software was born in a kitchen, not in a software company. It exists to give food businesses the numbers a chef needs before service: what a dish costs today, what is in the store room, what to order and from whom, and whether the margin is holding. One cloud back office for costing, stock, purchasing, HACCP and analytics.

Want to see it on your own numbers?

Leave your details and we reply in English within one working day, with a live walkthrough of the software on dishes, suppliers and stock like yours.

## Qubi was written by a chef

Arcangelo Gioia started at 14 as a waiter and moved into the kitchen soon after. Over the next twenty years he cooked fish at Gambero Rosso, joined Stefano Baiocco's brigade at Villa Feltrinelli, spent three years at Ristorante Rialto in Switzerland, worked in Rome with Giuseppe D'Addio, then in Australia and the United States, before joining a five-star luxury hotel in Lugano at 27 and taking on the cost control of a large operation in Lombardy.

Qubi was born there: from needing to know what a dish costs before serving it, without rebuilding the spreadsheet every time a supplier changes a price. The name comes from the Italian “quanto basta”, the measure a cook knows by hand and no system ever did.

After ten years at the stove he studied computer science and, with the Milan studio Datasys Network, built the first version in three and a half years. He still answers support requests himself: customers say so in their reviews, by name.
