# The operating system for collective catering.

MEPO calculates what to buy from the menu, deducts stock when the kitchen produces, and issues the billing statement for each contract.

## Who it is for

Collective catering operators and self-managed operations in hospitals, factories, schools and other institutions.

## How it works

### Plan the meals

Build the menu and enter how many meals will be served. The recipe sheet for each dish lists the ingredients and the quantities.

### Buy what is missing

MEPO subtracts your stock from what the menu needs and shows what is left to buy. Compare supplier quotes and approve the order.

### Check the stock

Record what arrived and check the balances. Each entry and exit keeps the quantity and cost of the ingredient.

### Record production

Issue the ingredients and confirm what was used. Record waste, leftovers and how many meals were served.

### Check the results

Bill the approved quantities at the contract rate. Compare revenue, ingredient cost and expenses for each Unit.
