Hotels & Restaurants
Control your costs without slowing down creativity.
Your recipes change with the seasons, supplier prices fluctuate and guests ask about allergens. CalcMenu brings it all together — from margin calculation to technical sheet printing — so your brigade can focus on the plate.
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.
Recipes, food cost, allergens and labels. One tool for your entire kitchen brigade.
Hospitality & restaurants
Hotels, casinos, mountain and seaside resorts, restaurant chains and franchises all run the same recipe across multiple outlets, seasons and teams — and need the food cost, allergens and labelling to match every single time. CalcMenu keeps one reference recipe per dish, with costs, allergens and compliant labels recalculated automatically the moment a supplier price or a menu changes, whether that's one restaurant or hundreds of franchised locations.
What your teams deal with every day
Food cost calculated by gut feel, never truly accurate
Supplier prices change every week. Recipe cards in Excel don't update themselves. At month end, the actual margin is a surprise — rarely a good one.
A guest asks about allergens — nobody has the exact answer
The waiter asks the kitchen, the chef checks the packaging. If an ingredient changed supplier yesterday, nobody knows yet. That's both a legal risk and a poor guest experience.
Buffet cards and salad bar labels redone by hand with every menu change
The buffet menu changes three times a week. Each time, someone opens Word, edits, prints, laminates. In high season, that's two hours lost every week — just for labels.
Your kitchen in full clarity.
Food cost, allergens and tech sheets on one screen. You make fast decisions without interrupting service.
