Operate a Lean, Responsive Dining Program
Lean processes need to drive every campus foodservice program in today’s dynamic retail dining landscape. Universities are facing campus-wide budget cuts, customers are spending less, and shortages in the supply chain are making some items difficult to stock.
NetMenu is CBORD’s complete web-based, fully hosted food service solution designed to manage all aspects of your operation from the loading dock to multiple dining venues. Use smart tools for menu planning, food production, purchasing, and cost management, plus have quick access to the critical data needed to run a rapidly changing campus dining environment.
Use simplified, automated processes to design restaurant-style menus that can be adapted for prepackaged grab-and-go options and easily transportable items. You can shift production away from eat-in concepts to delivery and takeout—and back again when needed.
Improve your students’ experience with enticing menus based on actuals, not guesses. Ensure items on the menu are available and fresh, plus provide easy access to accurate nutrition and allergen information online.
Increase your revenue by making better, faster menu and forecast decisions with insight driven by multisite reporting and analytics.
Optimize your menu design to provide consistency and flexibility with unit-specific menus. Plan meals at the station level and use smart tools for forecasting and analysis.
Improve production process efficiency with our multiunit production worksheets. Easily scale recipes and generate prep and pull lists.
Reduce cost of food and supplies with forecast-driven purchasing, electronic vendor ordering and receiving, accurate production reports, and sales actuals.
Eliminate IT costs with our web-based system. CBORD hosts NetMenu on high-performance servers with automatic updates and disaster recovery. There are no locally installed workstation applications, no onsite maintenance requirements, and no local server or hardware maintenance.
