Vending & snacking
Your vending machines: compliant and profitable.
Managing dozens of machines with products that change weekly is a constant source of labelling errors and margin losses. CalcMenu centralises product sheets, allergens and prices — and updates your ESL screens in just a few clicks.
A solution built for your sector
CalcMenu scales to your operation, from a few dozen to several thousand covers. The goal stays the same: one source of truth for recipes, allergens, and costs.
Compliant labels, live prices, visible allergens. On every machine, every day.
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.
What your teams deal with every day
An allergen changes on a product — the labels don't keep up
The supplier reformulates. The information arrives by email. The machine at the end of the corridor still shows the old composition. Nobody noticed.
Updating prices across 40 machines takes an entire day
Every price or range change requires a manual round. Between travel, input errors and oversights, the update is never truly finished.
No visibility on what sells — and what gets thrown away
Without centralised sales tracking per machine, restocking is done by instinct. The result: waste on some products, stockouts on others.
Products sold 24/7 without constant supervision.
Costs, dates and allergens tracked automatically. Your vending machines stay profitable and compliant.
