Meals

Staff book their meals; the kitchen gets a headcount and payroll gets a monthly list.

For Bangladesh workspaces: people book meals day by day from a calendar, the kitchen sees a daily headcount per site and admins get each person’s share for the month.

A workspace module. An admin switches it on in Settings.

US$5 per user per month, tax included. 30-day free trial.

A lunch is booked for Wednesday, the kitchen headcount goes up by one and the month's share updates.
The problem

A factory canteen runs on guesses and a ledger

Cooking for a headcount nobody confirmed wastes food and working out each person’s share at month end means a ledger and an argument. Meal booking gives the kitchen a firm number the evening before and gives payroll a list it can check.

How it works

In four steps

  1. Set up the menu

    Meals with a price in taka, up to 12 variants, the sites they are served at and your subsidy as a percentage.

  2. Book ahead

    People book from a calendar up to 30 days ahead (you choose 1 to 90). A day locks at 20:00 the evening before or the hour you set.

  3. Cook to the number

    The kitchen sees a daily headcount with totals per site.

  4. Read the month

    Each person’s share is the price less the subsidy, fixed at the moment of booking.
