A short guide recorded in the real app, with voice-over.
Every change means retyping, reprinting and hoping nobody misses it.
You only find out the food bill is over once the invoices arrive.
The chef has to remember which dish contains what, for every resident.
Choose how many weeks your menu runs before it repeats. Copy a week and change only the dishes you want.
Mains, puddings, breakfasts and teas, each with ingredients, allergens and a cost per portion already worked out.
Add your own dishes and ingredients – Platewell works out the allergens and cost per portion from what goes in.
Before a dish goes on a menu, someone checks its allergens against your recipe and confirms. Platewell saves who and when.
Your menu feeds the residents' choice sheets, the kitchen sheet, plate labels and the supplier order.
Each meal has its own menu and its own time, with snack time optional.
Yes. Start from the library, add your own dishes, or mix both. Each dish lists its ingredients, so its allergens and cost per portion are worked out for you.
Anything from 1 to 7 weeks. Each week has its own tab, and you can copy a week to start the next one.
No. Menu sheets and the kitchen sheet print on plain A4. Labels print on standard A4 sheets of 14 labels (99 × 38 mm).
