Allergen management
Legislative efforts over the last decade have seen the food business being required to be more transparent with regards to the ingredients in their dishes.
- 2014 food labelling law, operators were legally required to provide information on 14 allergens
- 2021 Natasha’s Law was introduced requiring all food outlets to provide full ingredient lists with clear allergen labelling on Pre-Packed for Direct Sale foods (PPDS)
- 2022 – Calorie Labelling Legilsation is now mandatory to out-of-home food businesses with 250 employees or more
Suppliers load allergen and nutritional information against each of their products enabling our system to automatically reflect this data across all your menus, recipes and dishes. This means our Allergen & Nutritional Management module gives operators peace of mind that they are meeting all the above legal requirements.

Food waste management
How much is food waste costing your business?
Nobody likes to see food go to waste - yet many kitchens are wasting as much on food as they are banking in profit. According to the Waste & Resource Action Programme (WRAP) the hospitality and food service sector generates around 1.1 million tonnes of food waste worth a staggering £2.5bn.[1] With more focus on sustainable business practices as well as increasing operating costs across the board– what can we do to reduce food waste and reduce costs in our kitchens?
Our quick and simple food waste management software will help solve the problem of kitchen waste. We will help you track waste against multiple menus to reduce the problem. It’s quick and easy to use, the benefits go straight to your bottom line not to mention the environmental benefits.

FAQ's for menu management system
What is menu management software?
Menu management software enables food and beverage operators to gain full visibility across their operations to create and manage menus and ingredients. Menu management software enables kitchen managers to gain tighter control over the profit margins of each dish by providing accurate costs per portion as well as sales data so you can assess the profitability of each dish over time.
With greater control over ingredient amounts per portion, it is easier to record and reduce waste, which helps maximise profits for the business. Menu management software also delivers accurate information for allergen and nutrition labelling which is essential to comply with food labelling legislation.
Why is menu management important?
Effective menu management is an important part of the operation of a food-based hospitality business like a restaurant, café or food-led pub that will increase the profitability of the operation through tighter control of profit margins and costs for each menu item.
The kitchen manager can use menu management software to adapt recipes, swap ingredients to change the cost or choose a lower-calorie ingredient alternative, reduce the price per portion and reduce waste costs with closer monitoring of suppliers and inventory.
Using menu management software kitchen managers can gain full visibility of held stock to decide what needs to be used up and adapt recipes, change menu items, select the ‘dish of the day and what items need to be upsold by front-of-house staff.
Menu management software also enables kitchens to comply with the legislation surrounding allergen and calorie labelling, which is critically important to get right.
