What CalcuEasy does

CalcuEasy ApS is a Danish cloud-based SaaS company that provides a food management system for professional kitchens in Denmark, including full-service restaurants, fast casual chains, cafés, corporate canteens, and hotels. The platform is structured as a suite of integrated modules: a dashboard for insight and analysis, recipe management that captures CO2e, nutritional content, organic percentage, and allergen data per dish, inventory management with digital stock counting, automated calculations for menu pricing and kitchen percentage, a sales module with POS integration, and an organization dashboard for multi-location chains and catering companies. Technology delivery is via web (live.calcueasy.com) and app (app.calcueasy.com) clients, with integrations to Danish wholesalers to monitor commodity price fluctuations and automatically recalculate recipes when input prices move.

Revenue is generated through subscription-based, quote-priced monthly SaaS contracts sold after a 14-day free trial (extended during the Corona pandemic). Pricing tiers are not publicly disclosed and customers must contact sales. Distribution blends a product-led growth self-serve onboarding flow with a consultative channel of partner consultants (AB Catering, BC Catering, inco) who are attached directly to customer accounts for onboarding, training, and ongoing optimization, and who have visibility into customer operational data.
