More than meals: your catering, in one app
Manage daily portions, log HACCP temperatures, track invoices and give parents total dietary transparency, all from one place.
Setting management, made easy
Everything your nursery manager needs in one intuitive dashboard.
Precision ordering
- Order ahead, override on the day: place orders in advance and simply adjust them on the morning, before your daily cut-off time.
- Room breakdowns: order by room (Babies, Toddlers, Preschool and more) and request room trays, so serving is simple.
- Instant allergies: add ad-hoc dietary requirements with one click.
Digital HACCP logs
Log food arrival temperatures on a tablet or phone. You get a time-stamped digital audit trail with built-in warnings for unsafe holding temperatures.
Financial transparency
Download itemised PDF invoices any time and see account credits updated live on your dashboard.
The parent portal
A secure interface that gives parents dietary peace of mind and cuts questions to your staff.
Live menu search
Parents find your nursery and see exactly what's on the menu today, tomorrow or next week.
Dietary match system
A private dietary code (e.g. DC1) filters the menu and confirms a child's safely segregated alternative.
14-allergen transparency
Clear allergen tags plus downloadable PDF ingredient breakdowns for every dish.
