Military & Defence
Feed 2,000 soldiers — without improvising.
Military kitchens handle extreme volumes, variable headcounts and extraordinary logistical constraints. CalcMenu centralises recipes, orders and HACCP traceability so every service is delivered on time — whatever the site.
A solution built for your sector
CalcMenu scales to your operation, from a few dozen to several thousand covers. The goal stays the same: one source of truth for recipes, allergens, and costs.
Thousands of meals, zero margin for error. Military food logistics under control.
Institutional catering
Business restaurants, school canteens, day-care — menu planning, nutritional analysis and allergen traceability for thousands of covers.
What your teams deal with every day
Headcounts change every week — orders can't keep up
A cancelled exercise, a relocated unit, an extra company. The kitchen often finds out about headcount changes 48 hours out. The result: surplus, shortfalls, and waste that's hard to account for.
Multiple kitchens, no shared recipe standard
Every barracks cooks its own way. Costs vary from site to site without explanation. There's no way to manage quality or benchmark performance across centres.
HACCP traceability relies on paper logbooks
Temperatures, goods-in checks, cleaning records — all logged by hand in binders. When an inspection or food incident occurs, tracking down last week's data is a detective job.
Reliable field meals, even at scale.
Rations, allergens and traceability managed in one system. You feed your units without security gaps.
