For caterers, lunch schemes and canteen kitchens

The whole catering kitchen in one system – from order to invoice

CoChef brings orders, emails, kitchen planning, menus, delivery, purchasing and invoicing together, so everyone works from the same figures. Orders are read automatically – you approve.

How it works

One flow from order to invoice

Features marked “Coming soon” are in development.

  1. The order comes in

    Customers write the way they always have: emails, web forms and resellers’ lists. CoChef reads them and proposes the changes.

  2. You approve

    See the proposal with its source beside it. Approve, correct or reject – an order from an email changes nothing until one of you has said yes.

  3. Coming soon

    Menu and purchasing are planned

    The week’s menu is set, and the shopping list is worked out from the menu and the number of covers.

  4. The kitchen produces

    The day’s production per kitchen with covers, diets, add-ons and notes – ready to print.

  5. The food goes out

    The delivery list and the labels for the boxes come with it, so every delivery reaches the right place.

  6. Coming soon

    Invoicing

    The invoice basis is built from the deliveries that actually went out.

Features

Everything a catering kitchen has to keep track of

Orders from email, web and resellers

Emails, web forms and resellers’ lists are read automatically. CoChef finds the customer, the day, the number of covers and the diets and proposes the change – you approve.

Standing orders, cancellations and closures

Each customer has a standing order with weekdays, covers, diets and delivery time. The week is created with one click, a holiday closure cancels the right deliveries, and a cancelled delivery can always be restored.

Kitchen planning

The day’s production per kitchen with covers, diets, add-ons and notes. If a change comes in after printing, it is marked as changed – on screen and on the next print.

Diets and allergies all the way through

Your own list of diets – vegetarian, gluten-free, no pork and whatever else you use – is counted per delivery and follows the order all the way to the kitchen sheet.

Coming soon

Menu planning

Set the week’s menu with dishes, recipes and allergens, and see it next to the number of covers and diets.

Transport and delivery

Delivery list and box labels as PDF, stamped with the time they were printed. Route planning and a view for the drivers are coming.

Coming soon

Purchasing

The shopping list is worked out from the menu and the number of covers, so you buy what you need – no more, no less.

Coming soon

Invoicing

The invoice basis is built from the deliveries that actually went out and passed on to your accounting software.

Full traceability

Every change is saved with who and when. On a delivery you can see which email or list a figure came from, and who approved it.

The diets are on the sheet every day. We haven’t forgotten a gluten-free since.
