A World of Styles to Choose From

Why We Built Kootto
Geoffrey visiting Yves' home town in Brittany, North-West France — two French expats building something new on the other side of the world.
The Gold Coast isn't just where we operate, it's where Kootto was born. Geoffrey and Yves (Ian) are both based here, and it was between sunrise surf sessions at Burleigh Heads that the idea for Kootto took shape.
The Problem We Kept Seeing
Yves is a professional chef, and he'd watch Gold Coast clients struggle through endless back-and-forth emails, vague pricing, and the dreaded "we'll send you some menu options" black hole. Geoffrey had the same frustration as a customer. We knew there had to be a better way, and we knew the Gold Coast, with its holiday rentals, beachfront events, and year-round entertaining culture, was exactly the right place to prove it.
The Turning Point
When COVID hit in March 2020, Geoffrey was laid off from his software engineering job. He and Yves spent that autumn doing two things: surfing at Burleigh together at sunrise, and tearing apart every private chef platform they could find. What they discovered, hidden pricing, no upfront menus, chefs drowning in admin, became the blueprint for everything Kootto would fix.
