Calendar meal plans with headcount roll recipe costs into plan total and cost per person before you buy.

02

Compliance on the recipe

Allergen tags and USDA-backed nutrition live on the dish—export FDA-style labels when clients ask.

03

Plan to priced quote

Generate a client quote from the meal plan so institutional proposals match what the kitchen will cook.

Rotations live in one file. Allergens live in another. Quotes get rebuilt by hand. That isn’t serious institutional ops—it’s hope with a calendar printout.

Questions institutional kitchens ask

Is Prep Station built for institutional meal service?

Yes. Plan weeks on a calendar with headcount, roll up recipe cost per person, build shopping lists, and push meal plans into production—without catering banquet software.

Can I generate a client quote from a meal plan?

Yes. Institutional clients get a priced proposal from the plan in one action, using live plate costs instead of rebuilding the quote in a spreadsheet.

How do allergens and nutrition work for compliance?

Tag allergens on ingredients; they roll up through recipes and menus. Recipes calculate nutrition per serving from USDA-linked ingredients and export FDA-style nutrition facts labels.

Can corporate accounts order on house credit?

Yes. Corporate customer records support house accounts with credit limits, default payment terms, tax-exempt status, and multiple contacts for AP and planners.

Does production see meal plan demand?

Yes. Push a meal plan into the production pool so kitchen demand fills from the plan alongside sales orders and menus.

Do I need a credit card for the live demo?

No. The live demo does not require a credit card. Explore meal planning and nutrition, then cancel anytime.
