Rising client expectations call for change

If you are in contract catering, you know the pressure and non-stop work behind the scenes.

Clients expect consistently great culinary experiences that are more personal than ever and have full transparency around sustainability, nutrition, and allergens.

But this is often inhibited by disconnected systems, menus living in Excel or Word, orders tracked by email, and feedback that rarely reaches menu planners.

That is why we are excited to introduce the FoodOp x Kanpla partnership.
‍

What can you achieve with FoodOp x Kanpla?

FoodOp x Kanpla brings a connected tech stack that removes friction, brings clarity, and scales with your business. No spreadsheets. No patchwork of systems.

FoodOp connects your recipes and menus to your supply chain, enabling kitchens to plan menus with full control of costs, allergens, CO2e, and nutrition.

Kanpla keeps your guests informed and make it seamless to place orders, pay, share feedback, and run campaigns.

When connected you get:

1. Sales-linked prep, ordering, and inventory
2. Guest feedback that feeds directly into menu planning
3. Consistent allergen, nutrition, and carbon data across sites
4. Internal reports with full clarity of costs, sales, and menu information
5. Menus published with allergens, carbon labels, and nutrition
6. Sustainability and contract KPI reporting

No duplicate entries. No outdated spreadsheets. No manual corrections.

How it works

1. Plan menus with full control of costs, allergens, carbon, and nutrition
2. Publish menus to your guest app and POS
3. Let orders drive prep, procurement, and inventory
4. Feed guest feedback directly into planning

To get started, you just copy your Kanpla API key into FoodOp and you are ready to experience a connected tech stack with one source of truth across sites.

A shared commitment to supercharge contract catering

Kanpla and FoodOp are equally committed to empower chefs, streamline operations, and improve guest experiences.

Empowering you to:

1. Deliver consistently excellent, chef-led culinary experiences.
2. Improve margins through better food cost management.
3. Guarantee the highest allergen, food safety, and ESG reporting standard.
4. Reduce admin burden on chefs and location managers, freeing them to focus on clients and food.
5. Enable multi-site excellence with a consistent operating model, with clear KPIs and compliance.

This partnership is another step in building a connected ecosystem where the tools operators rely on work together instead of apart.
