Questions institutional kitchens ask

Is Prep Station built for institutional meal service?

Yes. Plan weeks on a calendar with headcount, roll up recipe cost per person, build shopping lists, and push meal plans into production—without catering banquet software.

Can I generate a client quote from a meal plan?

Yes. Institutional clients get a priced proposal from the plan in one action, using live plate costs instead of rebuilding the quote in a spreadsheet.

How do allergens and nutrition work for compliance?

Tag allergens on ingredients; they roll up through recipes and menus. Recipes calculate nutrition per serving from USDA-linked ingredients and export FDA-style nutrition facts labels.

Can corporate accounts order on house credit?

Yes. Corporate customer records support house accounts with credit limits, default payment terms, tax-exempt status, and multiple contacts for AP and planners.

Does production see meal plan demand?

Yes. Push a meal plan into the production pool so kitchen demand fills from the plan alongside sales orders and menus.

Do I need a credit card for the live demo?

No. The live demo does not require a credit card. Explore meal planning and nutrition, then cancel anytime.
