Catering

Cook the right amount for every site and every meal.

Gudz turns menus and guest counts into kilograms, batches sized to your kettles and pans, and ingredient orders. Diners order from their phones, the kitchen works from one plan, and every pack is traced to the site that signed for it.

    Recipes scale the count into kilograms and batches for each station.

Do we have enough paneer for Thursday's plan?

getProductionPlangetInventoryLevelslistPurchaseOrders
No. Thursday needs 186 kg of paneer for 2,480 covers. There's 64 kg in the cold room and 80 kg arriving on Wednesday, so you're 42 kg short. Shree Dairy can deliver 50 kg by Wednesday evening.

Questions about Catering

Does Gudz work for both client-site catering and cloud kitchens?

Yes. Industrial and institutional caterers run client sites with menus, ordering windows and wallets. Cloud kitchens use the same recipes, stations and production plans, with orders coming in from their sales channels instead.

How does Gudz work out how much to cook?

It takes the confirmed count for each site and meal, multiplies it by the portion size in each recipe, adds the buffer you set and splits the total into batches that fit your equipment. You can change any number before the plan is released.

Can diners order and pay on their own?

Yes. Each site gets an ordering app that diners add to their home screen. They see the menu with allergens, pay from a wallet topped up through Razorpay and collect with a QR pass.

Can we trace a meal back to its ingredients?

Yes. Each pack carries the batch it came from, and each batch records the ingredient lots it used, who cooked it and its QC results. If a site raises a complaint, the whole history is in one place.
