Cycle Planning

Cycle Planning enables users with the ability to provide seamless cyclical and buffet management. It is mainly based on previous plans or other operational criteria. Each plan calculates the quantities of products forecasted to be sold for a given period.

Cycle Planning allows users to plan weekly/monthly meal plans used for buffets in food outlets catering to a large scale of customers such as university canteens and catering kitchens that serve a variety of dishes. Plans are created for the list of products that must be available at various stations on a specific date. Cycle planning enables easier transactions by considering the items in the plan and evaluating costs based on their quantities. This minimizes the effort in planning the menu items and evaluating their costs every time.

Users can perform the following functions in Cycle Planning:

• Configuring cycle plans

• Creating cycle plans

• Managing cycle plans

• Modifying cycle plans

• Activating cycle plans
