Order Reminders

Schedule reminders so customers never miss a meal, and you never miss an order.

Pre-set automatic reminders and customize the message for customers who haven’t placed an order from an open menu, to get their order in before the menu closes. This is a great way to ensure your customers don't forget to order, so the kitchen never misses a sale.

Inventory Management

Set limits on the number of meals available on a menu with automated monitoring.

One of the benefits of offering ready-made meals via batch is the predictability of inventory. Set inventory levels for every item and we’ll notify you when stock is running low. Designed to eliminate waste, help the kitchen manage production capacity and ensure your kitchen runs smoothly.

Food Labels

Automatically generated food labels, including your kitchen’s logo.

Your labels are automatically created when a recipe is entered into the platform. Ingredient lists are compiled, allergens identified, your logo included, leaving room if you wish to add preparation or storage notes, nutrition panels, batch numbers and other details. The labels come in three sizes depending on the size of the meal packaging.

Ingredient Database

Create your personalized ingredient database from our database of 2000+ ingredients.

Our curated ingredient database contains nutrition information and allergens for all ingredients. You’ll have the option to input who you’re purchasing the products from-and for how much, creating your own database which accurately reflects the automatically generated shopping lists for each menu, and allows recipe costing analysis for each meal.

Cookbook

Secure storage of your recipe with an easy-to-find catalogue

Enter and securely store your recipes in your private, digital recipe book. After entering your recipes, the platform crunches all the information to automatically provide you with recipe cards, cost analyses, pictures and descriptions for your menus, food labels and you’ll also be able to view sales data by recipe, so you can bring back your biggest hits.

Recipe Cards

Automatically generated recipe cards to perfectly recreate your dish every time.

For every recipe entered, a beautifully presented step-by-step recipe card is generated, with ingredients, metrics and methods clearly presented, viewable on-screen or printed, making it easy for you or your team to recreate dishes quickly and consistently.

Nutrition Calculator

Nutritional information panels generated for every recipe.

Nutritional information panels are automatically generated every time a recipe is entered into the platform. These nutrition facts can be made visible on the menus, and the nutrition panel can be added to your food labels if you wish. Having this ability to include nutrition information for each of your dishes allows an increased level of transparency for your customers.

Meal Packs

Create menus for customers who prefer a week’s meals at once.

Your kitchen can create meal packs which are a great way for customers to purchase a number of meals as part of a pack. The kitchen can designate which meals are available for customers to choose from and set limits on the number of different items a customer can add to a pack.

Groups & Segments

Connect with the right customers at the right time.

Creating subset groups within your database allows you to tailor your menu, messages and promotions to specific customers: segment customers in a geographic area, members of a local community group or school, those with specific dietary preferences or identify lapsed and loyal customers, allowing for optimal targeting and increased sales.

NDIS & HCP Participation

Make it easy for participants in the NDIS and HCP schemes to place orders from your menu.

The platform meets the invoicing requirements to be compatible with the NDIS (National Disability Scheme) and HCP (Home Care Packs) payment schemes. Your kitchen can easily manage customers setting themselves up on either part or full payment plans, allowing your customers to choose your wonderful meals for themselves.

Online Payments

All payments managed via Stripe, your way.

Stay in full control of payment cycles and frequency of payments but hand over the responsibility of processing to Stripe. Benefits are that there is no need for a separate payment processor or merchant bank fees – payments are built right into the platform.

Delivery Zones

Create delivery zones by postcode with delivery fees set for each zone

Digital Marketing Tools

A suite of marketing tools to help you connect with and grow your customer database

A complete set of tools that give you the ability to reward loyal customers, incentivise past customers, and attract new ones, with customised promotions, coupon codes and referral programs.

Customized Collateral

Access a suite of collateral materials to promote and grow your business

The platform provides branded flyers, posters, and fridge magnets, all with QR codes linking back to your kitchen, giving you tools to use in-store, in local community and with existing customers to grow your customer base and make it easy for them to order

Business Insights

User friendly data and insight reports to help you maximize your business

Work out where your business is performing best - and where it could do with a boost. Gain full visibility on menu performance, customers, order information; easily determine menu best sellers, which email campaigns were successful, or popular days of the week for ordering. The comprehensive dashboard highlights the data you need, arming you with the knowledge to grow.

Shopping list report

Order Summary Reports allow you to plan effectively for the week ahead.

When each menu closes, you will automatically receive a detailed Order Summary Report. This will list all orders and show additional details, sorting orders by delivery slots and pick-up times and providing visibility on customer notes and financial performance.

Order Summaries

Auto-generated shopping list when a menu closes. A lifesaver.

At the close of every menu, your automatically generated shopping list identifies the exact volume of ingredients you will need to fulfil the orders received. A great time saving tool that makes prep time quick and easy and minimizes food cost and wastage as you’ll never purchase more than you really need.

Order Slips

Pick & Pack Slips for each order so fulfilment is hiccup-free.

Receive an Individual Summary for each and every order, with customer details, order number, time of order, items included and the delivery or pick-up details. Simplify picking & packing and set yourself up for success during pick-ups and deliveries.

Financial Reports

Dissect your businesses financial performance in real-time.

Access to complete financial reports to run your business with full transparency. Review your overall macro business performance or zoom in and filter by time or product to analyse financials in depth.

Find-A-Cook
