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
Military bases, mobile camps, correctional facilities and government canteens all need to feed people at scale, often at remote or secure sites, with special diets respected and a compliance record that holds up to full public-sector scrutiny. CalcMenu plans those menus centrally, tracks every HACCP report automatically, and keeps traceability intact whether the kitchen is a fixed government canteen or a field camp with no permanent infrastructure.
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.
Key features for this sector

Allergens and nutrition calculated automatically from your recipes, ready for inspection.
