Solution
The resident picks their meal. The kitchen gets it all.
Every patient or resident orders via touchscreen or wall display. CalcMenu checks diets and allergens in real time and sends a consolidated production order to the kitchen — with no extra data entry.
Before / after
Patients or residents wait too long to order or change their meals.
CalcMenu lets them choose and change meals independently. Service flows better and diet errors drop.
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.
Every patient or resident orders via touchscreen or wall display. CalcMenu checks diets and allergens in real time and sends a consolidated production order to the kitchen — with no extra data entry.
What it gives you
Choice guided by diet profile
The displayed menu is filtered by the patient's diet profile. They can only order what suits them. Blocking allergens are hidden automatically.
Consolidated production order in real time
As soon as the order is confirmed, it aggregates into the kitchen's production order. No more phone calls, no more paper, no more transcription errors.
Multilingual interface for staff and residents
Available in French, German, Italian and English. Every resident sees the interface in their language, and care staff see the same data in theirs.
How it works
The resident profile configures the screen
Diet, texture, blocking allergens: CalcMenu reads the profile and filters the menu automatically. No manual configuration per shift.
The patient orders, CalcMenu validates
Each selection is checked against the diet and allergens before confirmation. Any deviation is blocked or flagged to the carer according to the configured rule.
The kitchen produces, with no phone calls
The consolidated production order appears in the kitchen at the right moment. Quantities, diets, allergens, room: everything is there, ready for production.
