How SwissCanonicatransformed their school catering serviceswith NutriCal's technology

The Intro

Streamlined recipe engineering and nutritional analysis

SwissCanonica forms part of the internationally renowned SwissCanonica Group, which has been an established food and beverage operation in Geneva Airport since 1948.

They launched their operations in Dubai in 2015 and have since been providing exceptional catering services to schools. Currently, SwissCanonica caters to 10 schools and 2 staff canteens in the region.

SwissCanonica prides itself on using fresh ingredients and cooking meals from scratch every morning to serve fresh and delicious food to students. Their 12-week rotating menu is a major advantage, with chicken on Mondays, beef on Tuesdays, vegetarian dishes on Wednesdays, international cuisine on Thursdays, and a snack box on Fridays. The menu is designed to provide a well-balanced and nutritious diet to students, with all recipes following Dubai Municipality guidelines and using high-quality, carefully sourced ingredients. Each day, students can choose from two different menus, one with a protein-based main dish and the other with a vegetarian option available upon request.

The team at SwissCanonica works with nutritional specialists and experienced chefs to ensure that the food is both healthy and delicious. In addition, they collaborate with top suppliers in the UAE to obtain high-quality, local, seasonal, clean, and non-GMO ingredients for their meals. SwissCanonica believes that healthy and nutritious food is essential for children's development, which is why they prioritize the quality of their ingredients and menus.

THE CHALLENGE

Compliance with regulations & provide detailed nutritional information

Katarina, the Operation Manager for the schools, has been working for SwissCanonica for 5.5 years

When SwissCanonica began operations in Dubai, there were no specific requirements from the Dubai Municipality, but they wanted to work with a professional software provider in the region. They turned to NutriCal, a leading software provider, to ensure compliance with regulations and provide detailed nutritional information about each product.

SOLUTION

To address these challenges, SwissCanonica partnered with NutriCal. NutriCal's intuitive software streamlined recipe engineering and nutritional analysis, allowing SwissCanonica to prioritize health without compromising on taste. Menu engineering was done based on recipe values, with a focus on providing nutritious and healthy meals to the students. Initially, SwissCanonica focused on grab-and-go meals, but they have since expanded to a 12-week menu. By the end of this year, they plan to provide nutritional value and allergy information for all the meals they serve, giving parents peace of mind and an opportunity to make informed choices about their children's food.

SwissCanonica is extremely satisfied with the NutriCal software, which has helped them streamline their operations, improve their menu engineering, and provide valuable nutritional information to their customers. The feedback from the community has been overwhelmingly positive, with parents and staff members appreciating the transparency and commitment to quality demonstrated by SwissCanonica.
