Catering & Foodservice ERP Software

You're producing 200 different items for 40 different clients this week. Where's the plan?

FlexiBake gives catering and foodservice production operations the system they've been managing on whiteboards and spreadsheets --- order consolidation, batch production planning, recipe-driven ingredient purchasing, allergen tracking across menus, and delivery scheduling. One platform for everything between the order and the truck.

Catering Challenges

Why catering manufacturers need purpose-built software

01

Production planning across dozens of items per day

A single day's production might include 15 entrees, 10 sides, 8 desserts, and 6 salads across 4 different client orders. Planning that production --- what to prep first, what shared ingredients overlap, what needs to be finished by which delivery time --- is currently happening on a whiteboard or in someone's head.

02

Ingredient purchasing from menus, not guesses

When this week's orders include 500 portions of chicken marsala and 300 portions of beef stroganoff, how much chicken, beef, mushrooms, and cream do you need? If you're calculating from menu recipes manually, you're either over-ordering (waste) or under-ordering (emergency supplier runs). FlexiBake calculates ingredient requirements from your recipes and your orders.

03

Allergen management across menus

Client A needs a nut-free menu. Client B has three vegan attendees. Client C requires gluten-free options. Allergen management across a diverse production schedule means tracking every ingredient in every recipe for every client. One missed allergen declaration can end a client relationship --- or worse.

04

Multi-client delivery coordination

Different clients, different delivery locations, different time windows, different items. The logistics of getting the right food to the right place at the right time is a daily coordination challenge. FlexiBake connects production schedules to delivery routes, so the production plan sequences backward from delivery times and the loading plan matches the route.
