Health & social care

Health & social care

Nursing homes, hospitals, psychiatric clinics, rehabilitation centres, home care and private clinics all share the same underlying risk: a prescribed diet has to reach the right resident or patient, every meal, across wards, sites and shift changes, with zero room for a mix-up. CalcMenu connects the prescription straight to the kitchen — therapeutic diets, allergens and IDDSI texture levels calculated once per recipe and applied automatically wherever that menu is served, with full traceability from prescription to plate.

Care Homes & Nursing HomesPsychiatryRehabilitationHome meals & home care+3
Hospitality & restaurants

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.

Institutional catering

Institutional catering

School canteens, workplace restaurants, universities and contract caterers serve thousands of meals a day to people who didn't choose their menu and can't be asked about an allergy at the counter. CalcMenu plans and costs those menus centrally, tracks every allergen and nutritional value per recipe, and gives kitchen teams a consistent, compliant standard across every site — from a single school to a nationwide contract.

Industry & brands

Industry & brands

Food manufacturers, nutrition brands, vegetable processors and sauce makers turn a recipe into a product that has to carry a substantiated nutritional claim, a compliant label and an exact cost, at scale and across every production line. CalcMenu manages the recipe as a real product record: nutrition to the gram, regulatory label data, and material cost tracked batch by batch, so a formulation change updates every downstream document automatically.

Retail & craft

Retail & craft

Bakeries, patisseries, butcher-delis, sandwich chains and supermarket counters live or die by how fast and how accurately they can label a product — best-before dates, allergens and shelf prices, updated the moment a recipe or a supplier price changes. CalcMenu prints compliant labels straight from the recipe, with no re-entry and no manual cross-checking, whether that's one artisan counter or hundreds of stores under the same brand.

Aviation & transport

Aviation & transport

Airline catering and airport food service both run on codes, certifications and turnaround times a normal restaurant kitchen never faces: SPML special-meal codes tied to a seat, uplift manifests that have to match exactly what's loaded, and menus that must stay standardised despite constant staff turnover in the transit zone. CalcMenu is already on board with MSC and a major airline caterer, handling galley menus, per-seat allergens and rotation costs at the pace this sector actually runs at.

Airline cateringAirports & passenger F&B
Public venues & events

Public venues & events

Stadiums, theme parks and exhibition halls all face the same spike: tens of thousands of meals compressed into a few hours or days, served by temporary or event crews who've never seen the menu before, with the exact same allergen and HACCP obligations as a permanent kitchen. CalcMenu standardises the recipes and compliance data in advance, so a one-off event or a year-round park runs on the same guaranteed standard as any fixed site.

Stadiums & arenasTheme parksTrade shows & exhibitions
Marine & rail

Marine & rail

Cruise ships, ferries and high-speed trains all produce meals for passengers of every nationality and diet, loaded from a central galley or provisioning port, often without a reliable connection once underway. CalcMenu plans that central production, tracks every batch loaded onto every galley or train set, and keeps the traceability intact from the dock to the passenger's plate — sailing after sailing, departure after departure.

Defence & government

Defence & government

Military bases, mobile camps, correctional facilities and government canteens all need to feed people at scale, often at remote or secure sites, with special diets respected and a compliance record that holds up to full public-sector scrutiny. CalcMenu plans those menus centrally, tracks every HACCP report automatically, and keeps traceability intact whether the kitchen is a fixed government canteen or a field camp with no permanent infrastructure.
