School catering
No allergen mistake should ever reach a child
CalcMenu calculates allergens and nutrition straight from your recipes, automatically and with no re-keying. Plan balanced menus across all your schools while keeping the budget under control.
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.
Safe, balanced menus that stay consistent across every school.
Institutional catering
School canteens, workplace restaurants, universities and contract caterers serve thousands of meals a day to people who didn't choose their menu and can't be asked about an allergy at the counter. CalcMenu plans and costs those menus centrally, tracks every allergen and nutritional value per recipe, and gives kitchen teams a consistent, compliant standard across every site — from a single school to a nationwide contract.
What your teams deal with every day
Allergens: zero errors tolerated
With children at the table, one omission can be serious. CalcMenu derives the 14 allergens from every recipe and flags any at-risk dish before service.
Consistency across several schools
A centrally approved recipe is served identically everywhere. No more diverging versions or outdated sheets from one site to the next.
Nutritional balance on a tight budget
See nutrition and cost per portion side by side. Adjust menus to meet guidelines without exceeding your target cost per plate.
School menus without the headache.
Diets, allergies and quantities by class are managed together. Parents read menus online, the kitchen knows how much to prepare.
