Paolo Fontana / founder
The food.
The numbers.
The people.
They have always belonged in the same conversation.
A practical reason to connect the work.
A recipe sits inside a larger operation. So does an invoice, a menu, an event plan and a service question. The people handling each part need useful information in a form they can act on.
Paolo has worked across professional kitchens, culinary education, food-business ownership and private-club leadership. GMAI brings that operating perspective to software designed for chefs and general managers.

- The food and hospitality remain the purpose of the work.
