Serve the right amount, waste nothing, every service
CalcMenu helps you forecast quantities by footfall and track food cost in real time. Prices and allergens stay current at self-service, on screen and on electronic shelf labels.
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.
Forecast footfall, control food cost, display everything at self-service.
Institutional catering
Business restaurants, school canteens, day-care — menu planning, nutritional analysis and allergen traceability for thousands of covers.
What your teams deal with every day
Forecast footfall and quantities
Base your forecasts on attendance history and the day's menus. Produce the right quantities to limit both shortfalls and leftovers.
Keep food cost under control daily
Each recipe's cost recalculates the moment purchase prices change. Spot low-margin dishes and adjust before they weigh on the budget.
Show up-to-date prices and allergens at self-service
Approved information feeds screens and electronic shelf labels directly. A menu or price change is reflected everywhere within seconds.
The company restaurant, finally aligned with employees.
Reservations, diets and allergen info online. Less waste, more choice, shorter queues.
