Get started

Trusted by leading Contract Caterers

The platform of choice for chef teams.

“FoodOp makes it seamless to publish menus with carbon footprints, nutritional values and allergens. Before FoodOp, our chef teams preferred working in Microsoft Word — or even with pen and paper — and very few used our food management and purchasing system. FoodOp is the first food management system that scales well with our chef teams.”
Gavin Young
Group Culinary Director
“FoodOp forms the backbone of our tech stack, connecting all systems end-to-end. At its core is the menu planner that integrates seamlessly with both front- and back-of-house systems. Menus are costed in real time, and with a single click, ingredients are procured and menus published to our guest app and POS.”
Bjørn Lundt
IT & Digitization Director
"FoodOp was up and running across 80 sites in just three months. Their Customer Success Team structured the rollout and helped guide our food waste strategy. The platform delivers clear insights into key trends, so we can take targeted action. We have already reduced food waste per guest by 12,9%, and our chef teams find it easy working with FoodOp."
Sanne Drescher
CEO
“FoodOp has improved our margins significantly by aligning procurement across sites to a pre-defined product universe. We are enabled to negotiate prices and kick-back for our top products and our chef teams enjoy a platform full of automation and menu inspiration.”
