ERP for food service, catering & meal subscriptions
One Odoo database runs the kitchen: recipes and manufacturing orders turn raw ingredients into finished meals, while sales, subscriptions, HR, payroll and local taxes stay in sync.
Challenges we solve
Recipes and costing unclear
Without Bills of Materials, food cost per dish is a guess.
Stock-outs during peak
Purchasing is not tied to production plans, causing rush buying or waste.
Subscriptions billed manually
Recurring meal plans are invoiced one by one instead of automatically.
Local payroll compliance
Country-specific salary structures, deductions and tax rules are hard to maintain.
