Menu Bank – Features that Simplify Everyday Life in Commercial Kitchens
Menu Bank is the name of one of the core features in the procurement system Millum Procurement. This module offers a wide range of possibilities for those working as chefs in hotels, restaurants, or staff restaurants.
Let the Procurement System Take Some of the Load Off
Running a commercial kitchen involves more than just cooking, and there's no doubt that it requires a significant amount of logistics and calculation. There are also high expectations from both management and guests.
Imagine a daily routine where all your tasks are taken care of by a system, eliminating the need for countless post-it notes and back-and-forth emails. Is that possible? You come very close with Menu Bank in Millum Procurement. It can assist you with the day-to-day kitchen operations from A to Z.
Menu Planning: Recipes, Calculations, and Allergens
Food takes center stage, and in Menu Bank, you can easily store your best recipes that you know guests appreciate or retrieve recipes assigned to your staff restaurant or hotel restaurant. If a product goes out of stock, you can replace it in all your recipes using the Multi-replace button.
Based on these recipes, you can create menu plans for several days, weeks, or seasons and generate order suggestions. These suggestions are based on data from previous orders and the number of guests. You no longer have to estimate each time, letting the system do the work for you. Additionally, you have full control over raw material prices, knowing that the prices you access are negotiated by your chain or membership organization.
As a chef, you must manage guests' numerous allergies and food preferences, ranging from severe nut allergies and celiac disease to lactose intolerance or plant-based diets. In Menu Bank, you can easily categorize food items and recipes based on the categories you encounter in guests every day. Moreover, the system is integrated with Matinfo– a reference book providing a detailed overview of allergens and nutritional content in products.
Sustainability on the Menu
Both consumers and businesses are compelled to take action now to heal our planet. In Menu Bank, you'll find features that help the commercial kitchen achieve its sustainability goals. Food waste is a crucial part of kitchen operations, and with Millum, you can manage this more straightforwardly. Additionally, the CO2 calculator ensures that you become more conscious of the carbon footprint of your dishes and menus by comparing food items and creating recipes with the lowest possible impact. This way, both your staff involved in menu planning and the guests have the opportunity to make informed choices.
Everything You Need for a Successful Commercial Kitchen
In summary, you can say that Menu Bank contains all the features a chef needs for a more straightforward daily routine in a commercial kitchen. All these functions are developed in collaboration with people working in the industry who understand its needs well.
