Solution
A digital kitchen, with no new technical debt
CalcMenu fits into your existing IT stack: standard connectors, no inbound ports on your side, role-based access control and multi-site synchronisation. Your kitchen teams gain autonomy without adding load to IT.
Before / after
Your IT department blocks every new tool because of security and integration questions.
CalcMenu is hosted on Azure Europe, GDPR-compliant, with SSO and audit logs. Your IT can say yes.
Why this feature matters
This feature is built directly into the CalcMenu recipe and menu database. The same data serves kitchen, service, and administration—no re-entry, no paper versions.
CalcMenu fits into your existing IT stack: standard connectors, no inbound ports on your side, role-based access control and multi-site synchronisation. Your kitchen teams gain autonomy without adding load to IT.
What it gives you
Standard integrations, no custom development
POS connectors (iiko, Square, Lightspeed, Toast, Deliverect, Oracle Simphony, Shiji), NiceLabel and scales are already available. Each new outlet connects in minutes through the existing adapter.
Network security: one outbound connection
The NiceLabel agent uses a local watch folder and an outbound connection. No inbound port to open, no server to expose, no VPN required for labelling.
Access governance and traceability
Centralised users, roles and permissions. Every recipe change, every HACCP entry and every signature is time-stamped: you know who did what, when and for which site.
How it works
Audit the existing stack with the project team
We map your systems (POS, labels, ERP, directory) and validate data flows. CalcMenu adapts to your architecture, not the other way around.
Deploy by site, roll out by group
A pilot site validates integrations. Recipes, standards and connectors are then replicated to other sites without re-installation.
Train teams, keep admin control
Kitchen teams learn to use CalcMenu; IT keeps control of access, integrations and exports. Everyone stays in their lane.
