Organic Gardens enhances business canteens by streamlining menu planning and inventory management, reducing food waste and CO2 emissions, and improving customer satisfaction through educational displays.
Challenge
The Canteen Burnout
Business canteens face multiple challenges, including the need to provide healthy, balanced meals that cater to diverse dietary needs while also managing operational complexities. High CO2 emissions from food production and transportation, significant food waste, and insufficient staff training are major concerns. Additionally, there is often low employee engagement and satisfaction with canteen offerings, which can affect overall workplace morale. Balancing cost-efficiency with quality and sustainability requires innovation in menu planning, ingredient sourcing, and kitchen management to meet both employee and environmental expectations.
From Farm to Fork. Cater healthy food in a high quality
Together with Organic Garden, we identified key requirements for improving business canteens and customer satisfaction.
We recognized the need for better menu planning, efficient inventory management, and staff training. In response, we conducted workshops to understand their recipes and workflows to transform them into a web app tailored to these needs. Another focus is educating canteen customers about their nutrition and menu choices, emphasizing the impact on food waste and CO2 emissions.
Organic Gardens Nutrition Management App features tools for menu planning, nutritional analysis, and environmental impact tracking. Additionally, we introduced point-of-sale display screens that present the current menu, highlight health benefits, and educate canteen visitors about their food choices, enhancing both operational efficiency and customer engagement.

Comprehensive Nutrition Management System for Modern Canteens
An all-in-one web app for menu planning, inventory management, and promoting sustainable food choices.
The solution developed for Organic Garden is a feature-rich Progressive Web App designed to modernize and optimize canteen operations. At its core, the app includes tools for precise menu planning, allowing chefs to easily create balanced meals tailored to diverse dietary preferences. Nutritional analysis features provide detailed information about ingredients and their health benefits, ensuring transparency and informed choices for customers.
In addition, the app integrates advanced inventory management tools to minimize waste by aligning stock levels with menu plans. This reduces overstocking and food spoilage, effectively lowering CO2 emissions caused by excess food production.
Another key feature is the educational integration via point-of-sale display screens. These screens showcase the current menu, highlight nutritional value, and educate canteen visitors on the environmental impact of their food choices. By fostering awareness, the app not only enhances operational efficiency but also aligns with sustainability goals, engaging employees in meaningful ways and improving workplace satisfaction.
