Café & brasserie
Your daily specials, prices and allergens: always up to date
CalcMenu fits cafés and brasseries that change their menu daily. Calculate food cost, print allergens and sync your till in a few clicks — no IT team needed.
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.
A menu that changes daily, reliable recipe specs, without complexity.
Hospitality & restaurants
Hotels, casinos, fine dining, cruises — manage recipe sheets, food cost and allergens for all outlets from one tool.
What your teams deal with every day
The menu changes, the recipe specs don't keep up
Daily special, chef's suggestion, lunch set: every day brings changes. Without a simple tool, costs and allergens are calculated on the fly — and sometimes wrongly.
The till shows one price, the kitchen calculates another
The daily special sells for 22 francs, but nobody knows if it's profitable. Margin is guessed at month-end, when it's too late to correct.
Allergen labelling is done by hand in the kitchen
Small card, pen, chef's memory. A recipe changes, an ingredient is substituted, and the label becomes wrong. The risk to the customer is real.
Old-school brasserie, day-to-day management without stress.
Recipes, costs and allergens updated in real time. You keep the menu alive and your customers informed.
