The weekly menu meets the budget per meal, is balanced and varied and is based on what your guests actually eat. Fewer leftovers, less number-crunching with recipe cards.

Is this for you?

  • You cook several lines a day for a canteen, school, hospital or catering and currently plan the menu with Excel and experience.
  • Recipes with food cost, allergens and nutritional values are in a stock management or recipe program, and you have serving figures from recent weeks.
First step today

Take ten dishes from your recipe collection with food cost per portion, allergens and the serving figures from the last few times, and use the template below to plan a week with two lines. Then check every figure against your recipe cards.

How to go about it

  1. Define budget, lines and nutrition rules
  2. Record recipes, costs and demand
  3. Have a menu suggested
  4. Have the head chef check the plan
  5. Publish the menu and order
  6. Evaluate leftovers and serving figures
