Diets, Portions & Packaging
Configure Every Detail of What You Serve
Diet requirements, portion sizes, packaging, and production factors, set once per product, applied across the order.
Your customers expect precision. You specify dietary options, choose portion sizes, select packaging, and adjust production factors for each dish. Everything syncs with your preparation lists and cost calculations.
- Set diet flags per dish, vegan, gluten-free, halal, or any requirement you track
- Choose portion sizes from your predefined catalogue or use the default
- Select packaging type for each product, takeaway containers, platters, or your custom options
- Specify hot or cold delivery per item to guide kitchen timing
- Adjust production factor to scale ingredient quantities for batch prep
- Configure diets and portions for every food item inside a product group
You handle orders with multiple dietary needs, vegan, gluten-free, halal, and Catermonkey lets you flag every dish for every requirement. Select a portion size from your pre-configured options or use the default. Pick packaging for takeaway or delivery. Set a production factor to scale ingredients for prep. Hot or cold delivery? Choose that too.
When you add a product group, the modal expands each individual food item so you can configure diets, portions, and packaging separately. Every choice feeds directly into your preparation lists and margin calculations. No guesswork, no duplicate entry.
Changes save immediately. Your kitchen sees the updated specs. Your costs reflect the actual ingredients. Your customer gets exactly what they ordered.
