Cruises & ferries
The same quality, from home port to cruise
Cruise ships and ferries serve thousands of meals a day, supplied at multiple ports. CalcMenu plans menus, calculates needs per port and ensures allergen and HACCP traceability, even offline.
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.
Kitchens at sea that supply multiple ports, with limited stock and menus adapted to each itinerary.
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
Supplies happen per port call
Every port has its own suppliers and lead times. Without precise planning, the kitchen runs out of key ingredients at sea.
Passengers declare allergies during the voyage
A passenger reports an allergy after boarding. The kitchen must adapt the menu and guarantee no cross-contamination occurs.
Internet connection is intermittent
At sea the cloud is not always reachable. Recipes, allergens and HACCP must be available offline and synced in port.
Provisions that last the journey, far from port.
Stock, menus and traceability managed for long missions. You avoid shortages without overloading the hold.
