Menu Planning & Recipe Builder

At Dunsters Farm we understand how crucial Menu Planning is in food service industries. With rising costs and more people than ever having special dietary requirements, having access to a Menu Planner is becoming an essential tool. Thanks to our partnership with Erudus, Dunsters Farm customers have access to top of the line Menu Planning and Recipe Builder tools.

Recipe Builder

You can use the Erudus Recipe Builder to plan and create recipes. It automatically compiles costing (including per person) nutritional values, and allergy statements as you add ingredients.

Identify your recipe’s profit margin. Simply add each product or ingredient’s purchase price, set the number of servings and press the button to calculate both the total recipe and per serving cost.

You’ll be able to see the cumulative nutritional information for each recipe you create which can be shown as ‘Per Serving’ and ‘Per 100g’ perfect for ensuring you are meeting food labelling standards and can present accurate nutritional information on your menu’s.

With the Erudus Recipe Builder, you can instantly check allergen information for individual ingredients or view a complete allergen summary for your entire recipe.

As dietary requirements become increasingly important in foodservice, the Erudus Recipe Builder automatically assesses your finished recipe for suitability with Vegetarian, Vegan, Halal, and Kosher diets. Clear icons make it easy to identify these dietary classifications at a glance.

You can even present cooking instructions to share with your Team or other locations.

Menu Planning

Want to see the nutritional breakdown of more than just a single meal? With Menu Planner, you can combine the nutritional, dietary and allergen information for multiple recipes—whether that’s three meals in a day, a full week’s menu, or any combination you choose. Everything is automatically aggregated into one clear, easy-to-read report.

Whether you’re planning vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal or kosher menus, Menu Planner makes it easy to create meal plans that meet a wide range of dietary requirements. Instantly view allergen and nutritional information for an individual meal, or access a comprehensive summary across an entire day’s or week’s menu, helping you plan with confidence.
