Since 1997 KP Culinary Educational Systems has been developing, publishing, and licensing educational content in the United States. It has developed The Sous Chef™, instructor-led support software for Culinary Arts programs in high schools, junior colleges, vocational institutions and individual businesses. The Sous Chef™ has been used in schools by teachers and students across the country since 1999.

Michael Murray and Nai-Yih Wang started KP Systems Multimedia in 1993 to provide corporate training, multimedia design, and programming services to clients such as Honeywell, American Express, Jennie-O Foods, and Fannie Mae.

Michael Murray and Dominic O'Neill shared a vision of improving education for all students, no matter what learning style to which they best responded. A new corporation (KP Culinary) was formed to pursue this vision. Since then, it has designed, written and produced The Sous Chef™ (a French phrase meaning "under the chef" or the chef's assistant.)

Nai Wang along with Jim Murray, Sean Dolphin, and Jonathan Major has taken the Sous Chef™ and formed KP Education Systems to bring the Sous Chef™ to all cities in America as well as transform it and bring to the consumer market nationwide. Besides culinary arts, KP Education Systems is dedicated to create new products and resources to niche areas in all of education.
Today, The Sous Chef™ is used by over 800 schools and businesses to aid culinary arts instruction. This represents about 100,000 student users.
