In 1985, two entrepreneurs in Switzerland had a vision of revolutionizing recipe management using technology, and the first version of EGS CALCMENU was developed.

We started with an installed version to help professional chefs and other businesses in the food service industry manage their recipes.

After a few years, we established our Asia Office in 1996 and expanded our client base to over 100 countries.

EGS CALCMENU Web and EGS F&B Control were introduced in 2004.

EGS CALCMENU Web is a web-based recipe management software that enables users to manage recipes online-this includes the ability to create, save and import recipes, view recipe ingredients, share recipes, determine nutritional information, scale recipes, sync recipes, plan menus, create menu plans, generate shopping lists, and much more - all with just a few clicks.

EGS F&B Control is a complete back-office system, designed for every food service business, to achieve inventory control, produce food cost variance reports, and increase overall profitability. The solution enables you to generate your inventory reports, carry out the inventory of items by storeroom or outlet and compare it to the ideal inventory based on the POS system to track down variances per item.

In 2010, Kiosk for CALCMENU was created.

Kiosk for CALCMENU, or the "Kiosk'', was included for free in EGS CALCMENU Web. The Kiosk is a light application that users can access online using their mobile devices or tablets. This makes it easy for chefs and other kitchen staff to quickly view, share and resize recipes, create shopping lists, and print food labels.

While recipe management, recipe costing, and recipe nutrition are all important considerations, sustainability is another crucial factor that has gained increasing focus. So in 2018, we partnered with Eaternity, the organization responsible for developing a solution to measure the environmental footprint of food products, or what we like to call "foodprint".

Just the like the way EGS CALCMENU Web enables you to automatically determine food costing or accomplish nutritional analysis, now you can establish more insights into your recipes' environmental impacts.

We continue to strengthen our solutions to adopt a data-driven approach. That's why we have integrated Product Information Management (PIM) into our system to streamline our processes within our supplier network and added our Advanced Data Management Service (ADMS) to ensure your data in EGS CALCMENU Web is expertly encoded by our team of culinary experts using only the best industry practices and strategies.

With ADMS, recipe ingredients and procedures are standardized, errors are minimized, and accurate recipe information in multiple languages* is provided for you and your kitchen staff.

*Available in English, French, and German. Other languages can be implemented upon request.
