Ice Cream & Chocolatier
Compliant labels, no double data entry.
New recipes every season. Before, updating counter labels and packaging took hours. With CalcMenu, every recipe change automatically updates allergens, nutritional values and print-ready 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.
House recipes, compliant allergen info, labels at a click. For artisans who make and sell.
Retail & craft
Bakeries, patisseries, butcher-delis, sandwich chains and supermarket counters live or die by how fast and how accurately they can label a product — best-before dates, allergens and shelf prices, updated the moment a recipe or a supplier price changes. CalcMenu prints compliant labels straight from the recipe, with no re-entry and no manual cross-checking, whether that's one artisan counter or hundreds of stores under the same brand.
What your teams deal with every day
A new recipe means redoing every label by hand
You change one ingredient in your praline. Someone has to reopen the Word file, fix the allergen, recalculate nutritional values and reprint. What if they forget the back display case?
Production costs rise but prices stay the same
Cocoa butter prices spike. You have no tool to see in real time how that affects your cost per bar or per tub. The margin melts away without you noticing.
The prices on display don't always reflect what's actually in production
A recipe changes, a new flavour replaces another. The electronic shelf label in the display still shows the old product. Staff correct it by hand on a Post-it until the next print run.
Precise creations, from weighing to label.
Recipes, yields and allergens under control. You change a recipe and every outlet is up to date.
