Mastering their menus with Menu Hub
Having worked with IndiCater for 10 years, we are really excited to be using the new Menu Hub module, it has given us great flexibility whilst helping us maintain compliance and control throughout our menus.
We work with a varied client base from schools, assisted living, extra care, retirement living and B&I sites and use IndiCater for its ease of use and time-saving features allowing us to manage the sharing of menu data across our business.
With IndiCater we have the flexibility to create different levels of access depending on what our clients need. Some schools have weekly menus which can be locked to ensure that they are read-only allowing the school users access to recipe cookbooks, allergen and nutritional information but without the ability to make changes. We can give some schools the ability to create their own weekly menus from a bank of recipes whilst others can have full access to create their own recipes and menus.
We recommend IndiCater to anyone looking for an easy to use, flexible and time-saving recipe and menu management software and with the added functionality of the new Menu Hub module.
