Solution
Your buffet labels, updated in an instant
Electronic labels show dish name, allergens, origin and price straight from CalcMenu. Change a dish or a price and the on-screen label follows. Never reprint a little card by hand again.
Before / after
Your selling prices are calculated by hand and don't follow cost changes in real time.
CalcMenu recalculates selling prices whenever a cost changes. Your margins are protected without manual math.
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.

What it gives you
Instant updates, zero reprinting
The buffet changes every service. Electronic labels refresh in seconds from CalcMenu, with no paper and no print queue.
Allergens and origin in plain sight
Each label shows the allergens and origin calculated by CalcMenu. Your guests are informed and your venue stays compliant, even in self-service.
A polished display, the same everywhere
No more handwritten cards and typos. Your labels always carry the same polished look, on every buffet and every site.
How it works
Bind each label to a dish
Each electronic label is linked to a CalcMenu recipe or item. You bind it once, then the label runs on its own.
CalcMenu sends the update
As soon as a dish, price, allergen or origin changes, CalcMenu pushes the new version to the labels concerned, wirelessly.
The screen refreshes by itself
The e-ink label immediately shows the right information, readable and stable. No handling at the buffet, no reprinting.
