The only menu management tool you’ll ever need
CaterCloud by EF-group is our cloud-based digital menu management platform enabling users to manage ingredients, build recipes and menus, review costs, monitor allergen profiles and stay up-to-date with the latest allergen regulations. Designed to give you full control and peace of mind, our technology features all the necessary tools, support and databases to ensure your menu management can be as simple and efficient as possible. From boardroom to kitchen, you benefit from a simple-but-effective overview of all your most important food-related operations and can relax knowing everything is running smoothly.
Complete live nutritional and allergen data
Minimise food safety risk using our recognised allergen and sub-allergen identification and tagging, along with calorific values for thousands of ingredients. Macro and micronutrients can be enabled against ingredients and managed by customers or suppliers. These can also be reported on as part of the RDA function available for basic nutrition.
Meal planning & consumption reporting
Easily create well-balanced menus in line with your key targets with the help of our meal planning tools. Enter specific consumption values for each of your dishes and create exact reports detailing nutrition, cost-per-dish and allergen profile.
Recipe, dish and menu costing tool
Our flexible menu planner offers simple drag-and-drop features, allowing users to easily and efficiently switch items and review costs for recipes, dishes and overall cost-per person from each menu.
Compliant labelling for all legislated law
All food that is pre-packed for direct sale must be properly labelled, which includes listing all ingredients and allergen profiles. CaterCloud helps you stay on top of compliance with Natasha’s Law and all relevant food legislation by allowing you to create and print customisable labels from any device. You can also use any of our label solutions via our partners Planglow’s Label Logic Live and Daymark’s MenuCommand and Menu Pilot.
