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
Cruise ships, ferries and high-speed trains all produce meals for passengers of every nationality and diet, loaded from a central galley or provisioning port, often without a reliable connection once underway. CalcMenu plans that central production, tracks every batch loaded onto every galley or train set, and keeps the traceability intact from the dock to the passenger's plate — sailing after sailing, departure after departure.
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.
Key features for this sector
Menus & recipes
Every recipe and menu in one database, always up to date and in four languages for the whole brigade.
Allergens & traceability
Allergens and nutrition calculated automatically from your recipes, ready for inspection.
Label Connector (NiceLabel)
From recipe to printed label: CalcMenu sends allergens, nutrition and shelf-life to your NiceLabel printers automatically.
Orders by floor / station
Each floor or ward orders its meals and diets online; the kitchen receives one consolidated summary.
Multi-site
Share recipes and standards from a central kitchen while each site adapts its own menus.
HACCP & safety
Temperatures, batch traceability and cleaning logs recorded continuously: always inspection-ready.
We spend three days at sea between port calls. Having menus, stock and allergens synced before leaving port changes everything.
