necta Menu Ordering System
From order to billing
Everything digital and seamless
1. Order
Guests, residents or employees select their menu via app, terminal or web.
Simple, intuitive selection – also available offline.
2. Production
The kitchen automatically receives the collected orders.
Exact quantity planning, less overproduction.
3. Output
The order is assigned to the correct person (e.g. resident or patient number).
Individual needs such as diets & allergens are automatically taken into account.
4. Billing
All orders automatically flow into purchasing & accounting.
No duplication of work – full transparency for administration & controlling.
This is how the menu ordering system connects the kitchen, administration and guests in a seamless process – digital, efficient and error-free.
From the hospital bed directly to the kitchen
With necta mbs, menu ordering in the hospital becomes easy, safe and efficient.
Caregivers can record patient-related orders directly at the bedside – automatically matched to the patient's individual nutritional profile.
Data security at hospital level
The solution is installed in the IT environment of the hospital infrastructure, so that all sensitive patient data remains protected. In compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the data from the Hospital Information System (HIS) can be connected to the necta Cloud. Information that is not relevant to the kitchen is not transferred or only anonymized. For every supply-relevant change in the hospital information system (HIS) of the facility, an automated notification is sent to the kitchen. Regardless of admission, transfer or medical requirements for patients, the catering-relevant adjustments are made automatically.
Order more easily – decide safely
On the tablet, caregivers only see those dishes that meet the individual dietary requirements. Diets, allergens, preferences and intolerances are automatically taken into account. This means that support staff can also carry out orders safely and without errors – while the dieticians have additional rights and extended ordering options.
From the order to the kitchen
Entering, changing or canceling an order becomes a routine task. Immediately after being recorded at the hospital bed, the orders land directly in the production kitchen. Depending on the specification, they are combined into picking lists. The system automatically calculates the required number and size of the GN containers and enables the printing of individual tablet cards per patient.
