Menu management in an experienced meal prep company requires a combination of many advanced processes:

  • Creating well-balanced recipes that match various meal plans - the ability to add a recipe containing all the ingredients of the dish being created, their appropriate amount and calculated macronutrients: calories, proteins, carbohydrates and fats,
  • Arranging a variety of menus for many available meal plans or diets - assigning different meals to different nutrition plans,
  • Taking care of the variety and rotation of meals over time - providing different meals for each day, and even giving the customer the opportunity to choose different meals every day,
  • Portioning meals depending on the selected caloric variant (daily portion size) - adjusting the size of meals to achieve the assumed macro goals,
  • Creating individual meals depending on the nutritional preferences of individual customers, eg exclusions or dislikes,
  • Creating an individual menu for Premium customers.
