CalcMenu for Cruise Ship Galleys
The right meal, the right deck, every crossing.
Cruise ship galleys combine the constraints of industrial production with the demands of multi-day voyages: provisioning at port, feeding thousands of passengers from dozens of nationalities, and cold-chain traceability across every deck. CalcMenu centralises production, labelling and HACCP traceability so your team can focus on the menu, not the manifest.
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.
From provisioning port to passenger plate — every diet, every nationality, every sailing.
Marine & rail
Cruises, ferries and high-speed trains — plan central production, load galleys and track every batch loaded, even without a constant connection.
What your teams deal with every day
Dietary requests collected at booking don't reach the dish label on board
Vegetarian, halal, kosher, gluten-free — each nationality brings its own list of requirements, and every restaurant on board needs the same information. When matching a guest's request to the printed label is done by hand across a dozen venues, mistakes are inevitable — and they surface mid-voyage, days from the nearest port.
Cold-chain traceability breaks down between port provisioning and the ship's galleys
Ingredients are loaded at port for a voyage that can run two weeks with no resupply. They pass through central stores, then a dozen galleys across the ship before reaching a plate. Without an integrated system, temperatures and timings stay on loose sheets that cannot be audited.
Allergy on board: nobody can say for certain what's in the dish
A passenger declares an allergy in the main dining room. The crew searches for the ingredient sheet for tonight's menu. It's not up to date — or nowhere to be found. Days from the nearest port, there is no plan B.
At sea, every meal matters as much as on land.
Recipes, stock and passenger diets managed in one system. Your galley sails without surprises.
