Enterprise Standardization

Bring your health system together with standardization and centralized control.

The NetMenu platform enables health systems to take centralized control of foodservice operations, helping enforce standards and improve quality and compliance while allowing for delegation of control to individual sites.

Central Menu Planning

NetMenu includes tools that help enterprise menu planners maintain suppliers and product selections, letting you plan menus for all locations and easily spread them for the special diets and share them with the appropriate sites.

The system helps ensure consistency across the entire organization by allowing each location to access standardized item information to create local recipes. Central, regional, market segment, and emergency menus are easy to manage, copy, change, and share, making it easy to manage rapid response and quick changes across your health system.

Enterprise Data Sharing

With NetMenu, you can ensure consistency across the entire organization by allowing each location to access standardized item information.

By managing ingredients, products, vendor items—and the links between them—centrally, you drive locations to use the right products for the right application from the right supplier. You can forecast aggregate product needs across all or a subset of locations by menu offering, or query by ingredient or vendor item to see what locations are buying.

Standards That Scale

Illumia understands that one size doesn’t fit all. The benefit of enterprise data inheritance does not limit your ability to meet the needs of your various locations.

For example, larger sites produce greater recipe yields, favor bulk pack sizes, and utilize pre-cut produce. Comparatively, small and specialty sites produce less and often buy whole produce to slice, dice, or chop as needed. Using robust override and substitution capabilities, the same enterprise recipe can be leveraged for both large and small sites without creating multiple variations for every yield and ingredient variation.

Enterprise Procurement

Purchasing control is key to cost savings. NetMenu’s enterprise procurement drives volume, maximizes incentives, and reduces SKUs.

A disruption in the food supply chain can happen any time. NetMenu uses configured algorithms to suggest the best product for any ingredient based on availability, order guide, contract status, price, etc. This drives volume purchasing of the same products across the enterprise, maximizing rebates and supporting purchasing compliance.
