About SkillVault
Built by a chef, for the UK hospitality floor.
SkillVault is founded by Vishal Mamidala, a culinary professional with over five years in high-volume restaurant and hotel kitchens across India and the United Kingdom. We exist to solve one of hospitality's most damaging silent problems: knowledge that walks out of the door every time a chef or supervisor resigns.
In a sector where 70–80% of the workforce changes annually, informal know-how is a commercial liability. SkillVault turns it into a permanent, structured business asset — captured once, verified in practice, and reused across every site and every shift.
Capture
Founder-led interviews turn tacit chef knowledge into structured recipes, sequences and standards.
Train
Menu-aware learning paths in the language each staff member is most confident in.
Verify
Practical video verification proves competence — not just quiz completion.
Activate
Waste, upsell and demand signals flow to the people on shift who can act on them.
Our Core Capabilities
One Platform. Every Shift Decision.
SkillVault links operational knowledge, practical training, competency verification and live service intelligence into a single closed loop — capturing know-how before it's lost and activating it exactly where it changes the guest experience.

How It Works
From tacit know-how to verified performance in four moves.
Step 01
Capture
We interview your senior chefs and supervisors, then structure their knowledge into recipes, sequences and standards inside the Vault.
Step 02
Train
Menu-based learning paths are generated in each staff member's confident language, mapped to the shifts they'll actually work.
Step 03
Verify
Staff submit short practical videos. AI checks technique, timing and safety cues; a manager signs off inside the Skills Passport.
Step 04
Activate
Live prompts, upsell cues and rush-readiness signals reach the floor, while owners see verified competence across every site.

FAQ
Answers before you ask.
Who is SkillVault for?+
UK restaurants, multi-site groups, hotel F&B teams and contract caterers who depend on consistent service and want to stop losing operational knowledge to staff turnover.
How is this different from a standard LMS?+
SkillVault is not a course library. It captures your own operational know-how, builds training from your live menu, and requires practical video verification of every skill before a Skills Passport entry is signed off.
How does the Skills Passport work?+
Every verified competency is added to the staff member's Skills Passport — a portable, employer-signed record of what they can actually do. It travels between your sites, groups and roles.
Which languages are supported?+
Learning and verification are delivered in each staff member's confident language, covering the languages most common on UK hospitality floors, with more added as we grow.
Is my data safe and GDPR compliant?+
Yes. SkillVault is built for UK data compliance with human-in-the-loop controls, role-based access and full audit trails for allergen and compliance sign-off.
How do we get started?+
Book a demo. We'll walk you through the platform, scope a pilot for one site, and — for Group Intelligence customers — run founder-led knowledge capture on your kitchen and floor.
