Correctional facilities
Compliant meals served safely
Correctional facilities serve meals to hundreds of residents with security, religious and medical constraints. CalcMenu structures menus, diets, allergens and HACCP traceability in a controlled and verifiable process.
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.
Secure, diet-compliant and traceable meals, served at scale every day.
Defence & government
Army, camps and correctional facilities — plan menus at scale, accommodate special diets and produce compliant HACCP reports, even at remote sites.
What your teams deal with every day
Religious and medical diets are complex
Halal, kosher, vegan, modified textures: every resident has specific needs. One mistake can have serious consequences.
Security demands strict controls
Utensils and ingredients are controlled. Documentation of menus, batches and temperatures must be rigorous and easily auditable.
Costs are constrained by public budgets
With tight budgets every gram counts. The kitchen must accurately calculate cost per meal and avoid waste.
Controlled meals, protected populations.
Diets, allergies and traceability applied without fail. Your facility meets obligations and respects people.
