Automated menu planning for Hospitals and Clinics
80% to 100% of patients in hospitals and clinics rely completely on food provided by the kitchen team and catering service for their nutritional support. Providing choice, flexibility and nutritionally appropriate menu options starts with Menutech.
Flexible and custom integrations
Your data can be easily and safely synchronised with your existing systems thanks to Menutech's API. Our programming team will help you with the design, planning and implementations of improvements specifically thought for your enterprise.
Diverse and healthy menus
Control your dietary management by letting Menutech seamlessly calculate the nutritional composition of diaries and track your patients’ dietary intake against reference values, so you don’t have to. You can also see if your offering follows a five-a-day diet and if each meal includes at least two bread, cereal, or carbohydrate products.
Menus for special dietary requirements
You can independently create and manage diets, dietary breakdowns and automated restrictions: menu options are then automatically filtered based on your clients' dietary restrictions.
Manage your recipes and download cost reports, preparation sheets and recipe books in just one click.

to certain aspects of the menu writing process. For example, translators can’t modify meal options and chefs cannot change the style of menus.
Calculate the highest and lowest energy content of food choices for the midday and evening meals for a sample of random days over the menu cycle. You can also check if your offering follows a five-a-day diet, and if at least two bread / cereal / starch items are offered for each meal.
Order-taking can be activated or de-activated at the click of a button. The latest menus of your choice are displayed to your patients, without having to re-upload PDF files or re-enter URL links. For example, you can set up the rule that every Sunday at 5PM, the menu of the next Monday is shown.
