Hospital
The right meal, for the right patient. Every time.
Between clinical diets, IDDSI textures, allergens and bed rotations, a hospital kitchen manages hundreds of individual cases every day. CalcMenu centralises everything — prescriptions, production, labelling — and frees your teams from high-risk manual tasks.
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.
Clinical dietetics, IDDSI, full traceability. For hospital kitchens where errors are not an option.
Health & social care
Nursing homes, hospitals, psychiatric clinics, rehabilitation centres, home care and private clinics all share the same underlying risk: a prescribed diet has to reach the right resident or patient, every meal, across wards, sites and shift changes, with zero room for a mix-up. CalcMenu connects the prescription straight to the kitchen — therapeutic diets, allergens and IDDSI texture levels calculated once per recipe and applied automatically wherever that menu is served, with full traceability from prescription to plate.

What your teams deal with every day
Incorrectly applied IDDSI textures remain a daily risk
A dysphagic patient receives a texture that is too firm because the prescription was handwritten and misread during production. The consequences can be serious.
Nutritional information doesn't reach the dietitian in time
The dietitian approves menus based on incomplete data. Actual nutritional values are calculated after the fact — sometimes never.
Cook-chill creates blind spots in traceability
Production is offset by 24 to 48 hours. Repacking labels are made by hand. In the event of an incident, tracing the implicated batch takes hours.
The prescription reaches the plate, without error.
Clinical diets, allergens and nutritional traceability follow the patient from prescription to tray. Dietetics and the kitchen share the same data.
