Meal service
Organising weekly menus is complex. With high volumes, strict dietary requirements and daily changes, even a small mistake can have major consequences. The Meal Service module brings clarity and control to the process by intelligently automating ordering, production, logistics and invoicing.
This helps you stay in control of your operation, reduce errors and free up more time for what really matters: delivering quality meals. The Meal Service module is powered in part by AI.

1. Plan your weekly menu
You can create weekly menus by offering the required number of products for each individual day. This can be a mix of fixed dishes and daily changing meals, complemented by extras such as snacks. The module can also use AI to scan forms automatically.
2. The customer periodically communicates their preference.
The customer (employee, nursing home resident, or patient) then submits their choice each week (or daily, depending on the sector) via the online shop. The system can also generate paper documents for seniors or people who prefer to work analog.
3. Automatic processing of selections
All orders are automatically consolidated and checked. Dietary requirements, allergens and preferences are taken into account straight away, without any manual corrections.
4. Kitchen planning and modules
The module turns all selections into precise production lists and serving schedules. You can see exactly how much needs to be prepared for each dish and each diet. Purchasing requirements are also calculated automatically, right down to the smallest detail.
5. Packaging and labelling
A correct label is generated automatically for every meal, including the name, dish, diet and allergens. This helps prevent mix-ups and keeps the process accurate, even at high volumes.
6. Logistics and delivery
The system creates a clear route plan and loading list for drivers. You know exactly which meals need to go out, in what order and to which addresses.
7. Invoicing and processing
Invoices are prepared automatically. Whether you work with consolidated invoices, split payments between the client and the organisation, or fixed billing arrangements per organisation, the financial handling fits the way you work.
8. Overview and control
You always have a clear view of volumes, costs, planning and errors. Mistakes are reduced, administration is kept to a minimum, and you have more time for your kitchen and your organisation.

Your profits could be better at the end of the year.
Cutting, pasting, typing, planning, calculating, and perhaps ordering too much. These are all avoidable costs that you can tackle with the right catering software.
Your mailbox is overflowing, and you're falling behind.

You are no longer behind with your mailbox. Responding quickly will boost your sales figures!
You are being lived
Make tasks more transferable and transparent for everyone within your organization. The days when everyone had to ask you are over.
You have no insight into your food margin
Catermonkey tells you your margin per ingredient, dish, buffet, package, and event. In real time.
Do you regularly fish alongside a quote?
Then another caterer probably beat you to it with their quote and gained the customer's trust. Digitize your quotes and respond much more quickly.
You only find out late in the day that the customer has a much lower budget in mind.
With a quotation indicator tool, customers can click on their requirements on your website and immediately receive a price estimate.
So before you waste any energy on it.
Too preoccupied with administrative tasks
Digitizing your processes will make tasks transferable, eliminate unnecessary cutting and pasting, and create clarity.
For everyone.
You don't really dare to go on vacation
Catering software makes tasks transferable for your employees. So when you're on vacation, your employees know exactly what to do. And you can log in on any computer with internet access, if necessary.
You print a lot and have many computers in your business.
Working without a good digital workflow requires a lot of paper, a sea of laptops, and staff to operate them.
You will save significantly on all of the above, while everyone has a better overview.
Customers sometimes have to wait a long time for their quote.
In that case, you will often miss out on an assignment.
What a waste!
Especially now that you know there is an affordable and well-designed alternative, developed for and by industry peers.
Only you know everything, it's all in your head
That makes me feel uneasy.
When you digitize, it's done.
You create enormous leverage, which also makes your company much more valuable to a potential buyer.
