02
Compliance questions answered from the recipe
Allergen tags and USDA-backed nutrition live on the dish—export FDA-style labels when clients ask.
03
Proposals the kitchen can deliver

Cancel anytime
Institutional volume without institutional paperwork Compliance questions should not restart a spreadsheet every quarter.
Rotations live in one file. Allergens live in another. Quotes get rebuilt by hand. Three files to keep one contract, and every client question restarts the hunt.
Take the kitchen seriously
Plan the week, cost it, shop it, and prove allergens and nutrition from the same recipes you cook. Add a self-serve meal program the client’s team orders from, and you are the kitchen they renew, not the one they rebid.

Give Roux the headcount and the budget. He plans the meals.
Tell Roux how many people, how many days and what you can spend, and he suggests a meal plan from your menus with the cost of each day. He traces allergens to their ingredients, opens nutrition labels, and builds reports on what you served and what it cost.
Try asking Roux
- “Breakfast and lunch for 30 for 3 days, under $500”
- “Where does the soy in the stir fry come from?”
- “Open the nutrition label for the turkey wrap”
- “Meal cost per person last month”
Roux proposes, you approve. Nothing saves until you do, and he only works in the apps you have turned on.

Questions institutional kitchens ask
Is PrepStation 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, on the Operations plan. House accounts carry credit limits and default payment terms, and corporate customer records hold tax-exempt status and multiple contacts for AP and planners.
Can a client’s employees order their own meals?
Yes. With group ordering, the company sets a per-person budget and invites the team, each person picks on your branded storefront, and one consolidated order lands at the deadline, paid by the company. Recurring daily or weekday programs billed to a house account are on the Operations plan.
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.
