Solution
Run your kitchens like a chain
CalcMenu gives group management and F&B leaders one unified view of recipes, costs, margins and compliance across every site.
Before / after
You don't know which site is losing money until month-end.
Your margins, costs and production variances are visible in real time, by site.
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 gives group management and F&B leaders one unified view of recipes, costs, margins and compliance across every site.
What it gives you
Shared standards, local adaptations
Publish a recipe or SOP across the group while letting each site adjust quantities, suppliers and menus.
Dashboards by site and group
Track food cost, HACCP compliance, production variance and training sign-offs. Zoom from group to site in one click.
Fast rollout of new items
A new dish, allergen or regulation propagates to every site in minutes, with no file sending.
How it works
Define the group reference
Create the recipe base, SOPs, HACCP thresholds and label formats centrally. Every site inherits the same rules.
Connect the sites
Every kitchen or outlet accesses the reference in its own language and units. Data flows back to the group in real time.
Steer by KPIs
View dashboards by site, region or family. Spot variances and send corrective actions.
