I am working on an app(tie in with a cook book I'm writing), but that's aimed more at non chef's.
The issue with anything for chef's is the kitchen is hot, wet with lots of oils and liquids going around. Most devices don't last too long haha.
For non service related items, there are quite a few for execs to help control costs and work flow, it's a fairly well supplied area to be frank.

Good luck with the cook book! I'm sure it is hard work nowadays with so many chefs publishing.
In the kitchen, something like an Amazon Echo may work?
Commercial kitchems are very noisy, hell as soon as I turn on the extraction fans - without cooking anything, I think it would struggle. Plus during service everyone is too busy to even think of non-absolutely necessary talking.
I do have a passion for fine dining but I'm not sure if I would be able to handle the pressures of working in a professional kitchen. I do think it would be a more rewarding profession compared to programming in a corporate environment which has become a chore.
I think I may go with your advice of developing my skills as a hobby!
I should have phrased my last question better- I was wondering if as an Executive Chef and technology enthusiast you can think of ways a mobile app (or technology in general) could aid a team of chefs in a professional kitchen? (developing something like that would be a pretty amazing experience).
