Simplify Menu Planning & Stay Compliant
With CaterCloud, you can create menus that meet nutritional standards and clearly display allergen information. Parents get peace of mind with live QR codes, and your kitchen stays compliant without the paperwork overload.
We’ve designed our tech to ease pressure on education caterers - because when you’re feeding the future, the tools you use should be as smart as your students.
From classroom to canteen, we’ve got your back!
“CaterCloud, has supported us in remaining fully compliant with food standards and legislation, while also making traceability, recipe creation, and menu development simple and efficient. The built-in allergen and nutritional data has made it much easier to produce safe, inclusive menus for our students.

Weekly Meal Planning
The weekly meal planner enables you to build weekly cycles - breakfast through dinner, and instantly compare against nutritional targets and budget allowances. Then generate consumption reports and CPRD analysis to demonstrate both quality care and cost control.
Live Ingredient Database
Our recognised allergen / sub‑allergen tagging plus exhaustive nutrition data keeps you compliant with healthcare regulations and gives dietitians the transparency they need to craft safe, balanced meal plans.
QR Code Viewable Menus
Families, and care teams can scan a simple QR code to see every meal’s full ingredient list, nutrition details, and allergen alerts - great for families checking dietary needs from afar, and for staff ensuring everyone gets the right meal.
EHO’S can also scan to check allergens or CQC visitors to monitor what meals are available in the homes, as part of their inspections.
Key Features
Downloadable Allergen Matrix
Care teams can pull up a one‑page, icon‑driven matrix that flags common allergens across all dishes. Quick reference for busy shifts or changing staff teams, ensuring no resident is exposed to unwanted ingredients.
Menu Management
Customise printable menus in moments with drag‑and‑drop ease. Group meals by dietary requirement - low‑sodium, pureed, diabetic, and adjust all your dishes without the need for cumbersome menu redesigns each time you change or update.
Compliant Labelling
From PPDS snack packs to dietary‑specific trays, generate labels that meet all legal requirements. Customise templates for each resident’s needs - print and apply, knowing you’re covered, and your residents are safe.
CaterCloud ensures we remain compliant with school nutrition guidelines and, most importantly, enables us to cater safely and appropriately for all our pupils' dietary requirements”.
