Two audiences, one tool

For the food tech teacher

You don't have to calculate nutrition by hand. Pupils write the recipe and get instant feedback on dietary guidelines, allergens and portioning.

  • Automatic allergen flags
  • CO₂ footprint per recipe
  • Scale portions in one click
For the school canteen

Pupil-designed menus can be shared directly with the canteen — authentic project work with tangible impact.

  • Menu suggestions for canteen ops
  • Weekly sustainability accounting
  • Parent info on allergens
