How A Founder Saves 2 Hours Automating Business Development Every Day

Today, we’re interviewing Chris Ferrer, the founder of SuChef.xyz - and how he uses Bardeen to automate the collection of data from various websites like Yelp and LinkedIn, SuChef is a platform with a focus on helping restaurants hire top chefs and chefs find great jobs. Working on this project, Chris found himself dealing with a time-consuming and tedious process of scraping data manually, which led him to seek an automated solution.

On a daily basis, Chris's tasks involve: 

‍

• Copy-pasting restaurant information from various sites like Yelp for business development purposes 
• Searching for email, phone numbers or LinkedIn data for outreach 
• Automating the account creation process of new users on his site

SuChef was faced with time intensive manual data scraping from various websites, which was a time-consuming process and had a significant margin for error. Despite the availability of data, the inconsistency in the data formats made the process of data collection tedious and inefficient.

Originally, Chris wanted to collect information from CulinaryAgents.com but the data was inconsistent often missing website URLs and contact information.

Chris used Bardeen to automate the collection of information from sites like Yelp and LinkedIn.

Then, he was able to use Bardeen’s integration with OpenAI to find phone numbers on any website and automatically add the scraped data to Google Sheets.
