Buying centre & brands
One master recipe. Hundreds of sites in sync.
Before, every site adapted recipes its own way — costs, allergens and labels all diverged. With CalcMenu, the centre defines once, every site applies. Consistent quality, guaranteed compliance.
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.
Centralised recipes, controlled costs, compliant labels. For brands that produce at scale.
Industry & brands
Food manufacturers, nutrition brands, vegetable processors and sauce makers turn a recipe into a product that has to carry a substantiated nutritional claim, a compliant label and an exact cost, at scale and across every production line. CalcMenu manages the recipe as a real product record: nutrition to the gram, regulatory label data, and material cost tracked batch by batch, so a formulation change updates every downstream document automatically.
What your teams deal with every day
Every site recalculates the same recipe with its own costs
The buying centre negotiates an ingredient. But each production unit enters its own prices, sometimes by hand. Real food cost is impossible to consolidate at group level.
One allergen update — reflected on 200 labels or on none
A supplier changes a formulation. In theory, all labels must be updated. In practice, some sites are still printing the old version weeks later.
Nutritional values differ from site to site for the same product
The product is supposed to be identical everywhere. But technical sheets from different sites show slightly different nutritional values. Brand-level regulatory compliance cannot be assured.
Buy better with reliable kitchen data.
Real needs from all your kitchens roll up automatically. You negotiate with solid figures and avoid overstock.
